Some tannin may solidify and turn into sediment over time. This sediment gives the vino a bitter taste. One will want to remove this sediment by letting the bottle sit upright for a day or two. Once all the sediment is on the bottom of the bottle, very carefully pour into a decanter, leaving the sediment in the bottle. Very old wine is fragile. An older wine will lose its flavor quickly once it has been poured from the bottle. A paler color indicates an older wine. An individual should drink these upon pouring. The darker the wine, the more aeration of wine aerators it will need. Younger wines will be darker, ruby reds and the older, more mature wines will generally be paler in color.
