Given its age, this wine should be handled with care. The cork may be fragile, so use a proper Durand or Ah-So opener. Decanting is highly recommended for older wines to separate any sediment and allow the wine to breathe and open up, typically for 30 minutes to an hour, but adjust based on the wine's evolution in the glass.
