This red wine is best served at 16-18°C. We recommend decanting it for 1-2 hours to allow its complex aromas to fully develop. The optimal drinking window is estimated to be from 2012 to 2032. For wines over 20 years old like this 2002 vintage, we highly recommend using a specialized opener such as the Ah-So, Durand, or Sovy Vintage Wine Opener to protect the delicate cork.
