Should wine be decanted?

Dennis Overstreet (Wine Expert) gives expert video advice on: Why expose wine to air?; Should wine be decanted?; Does it really matter what kind of glass I use to drink wine? and more...

To decant wine is simply pouring the wine into a decanter, giving it a chance now to air is just like, do you swab on a little cologne or perfume, or do you aerate it. That decanting is something that is sort of swabbing it on, letting it have a chance to come in contact with another substance and expand naturally versus swirling it around and gyrating it and trying to pull it up. I am of the school that everything should be decanted, everything should have gravity flow, everything should be natural. There is another school, but I believe I am the Ayatollah. I am right and there is a right way to do it. Do decant.
