wine serving
What are the serving recommendations and drink window for this wine?
This 1994 Château Ferrière is a mature Bordeaux from Margaux. Serve it at 16-18°C (60-64°F). While 1994 was a challenging vintage, this wine is likely past its peak but can still offer pleasant tertiary notes. Decanting for 30-60 minutes is recommended to allow it to open up and separate any sediment. Given its age, an Ah-So opener is highly recommended for cork extraction.
