It's a wine to be savored and appreciated for its age and complexity. Given its age, extreme care is advised when handling and opening. Old corks can be very fragile; a two-pronged cork puller (Ah-So) or a Durand is highly recommended. Decant gently for 30-60 minutes to separate any sediment and allow the wine to slowly open up, but avoid over-decanting to preserve its delicate, aged aromatics. Serve at a cool cellar temperature, around 16-18°C (60-64°F), in large Burgundy glasses.
