The cork will likely be very fragile; a specialized opener like a Durand or Ah-So is highly recommended. Decant very gently for 1 to 2 hours to allow the wine to breathe and to separate any sediment, but monitor it closely as older wines can be delicate and fade with excessive air exposure. Serve at a cool cellar temperature, ideally between 17-18°C (62-64°F).
