doh, will risk one over the weekend - have been layed down and have an awful lot of sediment in so might get the decanter out and have a go!

Varying opinions on decanting. Its meant to aerate the wine to improve flavour and aroma, but usually only useful in young wines.

Conversely, old wines may be damaged by overexposure to air, so decanting can actually detract.

Just my 2c

Not that any of them are sounding promising to drink... but I don't particularly want a mouth full of sediment.
Perhaps stand them up for a bit and pour carefully?
