    Hi!

    Thanks fo posting!

    Question 2 has varying answers from the 2 posters - but I would suggest it's True rather than false, as Taylors are running the comp, and on their website it says to decant:

    Taylors say ". Late Bottled Vintage and Aged Tawny Ports do not need decanting as they mature in oak vats or casks, where any sediment will have settled prior to bottling."

    So "All ports must be decanted" is false.
