wine serving
What are the recommended serving temperature and decanting time for this 1984 Les Forts de Latour, and what is its optimal drinking window?
For this mature 1984 Les Forts de Latour, we recommend serving it at 16-18°C. A gentle decant for 60-90 minutes is advisable to allow it to breathe and separate any sediment. While 1984 was a challenging vintage, this second wine from a First Growth is likely at or slightly past its peak, so we suggest enjoying it soon. An Ah-So opener is highly recommended for older corks.
