Decanting

Dear Sir, I opened a 2003 Montagne St Emilion. First I wanted to make sure it wasn't corked, so I smelled it - ok. Then I tasted it - not ok. Bland as water, and then the alcohol hit me but not much flavor. I decanted it and waited a couple of hours, and only then did I start tasting something very good, maybe past its prime, but very smooth with I suppose next to no tannins left. How was it that I first tasted nothing and that the decanting did the trick? Thank you.

Wine Storage

I will be relocating to Tucson, AZ later this year. I am searching for some temporary temperature and humidity controlled wine storage there to use until I am established in a new residence and have my cellar up and running.
