For this 1999 Banfi Cum Laude, serve at 16-18°C. We recommend decanting for 1-2 hours to allow it to open up. It is likely at its peak or entering its mature drinking window, which could extend for a few more years. Given its age (over 20 years old), an Ah-So opener is highly recommended to protect the delicate cork.

This Banfi Cum Laude is a Super Tuscan blend, typically full-bodied with rich dark fruit, spice, and earthy notes, showcasing a harmonious balance of power and elegance. It pairs wonderfully with robust Asian dishes such as Korean BBQ short ribs, Peking duck, braised beef with star anise, or rich mushroom and truffle dishes.

The bottle features a perfect label (score 10), a very top shoulder fill level (score 6), which is excellent for a wine of this age, and a perfect capsule (score 10). For home storage, keep the bottle horizontally in a cool, dark place with stable temperature and humidity, away from vibrations and direct light.
