As to your query regarding 3 to 4-year old Cabernet Sauvignons, it's next to impossible for me to generalize as styles and personal preferences vary tremendously. Certainly, a top-flight Cabernet with a 'tight' structure and considerable underlying tannins might warrant bringing out the decanter. That said, most red wines produced today are notably more balanced and drinkable from the bottle than was the case decades ago.

If you're enjoying the results of your current technique, why mess around?
