wine serving
What are the ideal serving conditions and drink window for this wine? Should I decant it?
This powerful 2015 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Vieilles Vignes is still quite young and will benefit greatly from decanting for 2-3 hours to soften its tannins and reveal its full complexity. Serve at 16-18°C. It has a long life ahead and can be cellared for another 10-15 years.
