fair enough... but opening it would tell you if it is still good... or not

"But, it is old enough that I wouldn't consider advance opening. Transport it gently, open it once there, give it a taste, and if it needs air, swirl. Being older, I would be more concerned about it going flat from too much air than I would about it needing the air to open." I have friends who subscribe to this view as well. But I have always read that older wines need a lot of air, several hours, to really open up. And I have decanted older wines before taking them to the restaurant, because the ride over and the waiter are sure to stir the sediment. (I usually put it back in the bottle after rinsing it). Is my thinking outdated?
