For a couple of reasons I would recommend a Burg instead of a barolo. The first being the pate and a burg is a great match. I also think the tenderloin of the Wellington would go better with a Burg.
You have selected a big barolo in a big year. This wine needs lots of aging to hit its stride. I'm not sure a lot of decant time will make up the difference. If it was a 05, you might be OK, but not with the 04.
Again the barolo would be better with a more marbled selection of beef than a tenderloin.
It's fall. Some roasted acorn squash and your favorite veggie would go nice.

I'd recommend a port acutally.
a 10 yr old vintage from a lesser house like 95 churchills that's hitting stride, with velvety tannins and non overpowering sweetness. (I think it's 50$ retail)
The sweetness would go well with a beef tenderloin and if you have a side of buttered mushrooms, it'd be a great match.
At least you won't be chewing on wood tannins all night.
