Stand the bottle upright for at least 24-48 hours before serving to allow any sediment to settle. Use a Durand or an Ah-So opener for the potentially fragile cork. Decanting is recommended for about 30-60 minutes to allow the wine to open up and shed any reductive notes, but be mindful of its age and stop if it seems to fade. Serve at cellar temperature, around 16-18°C (60-64°F).
