wine serving
How should I serve this 1994 E. Guigal Cote Rotie, and what is its optimal drinking window?
This 1994 E. Guigal Cote Rotie, a 750ml Northern Rhône Syrah, is best served at 16-18°C. Given its 30-year age, we highly recommend using an Ah-So opener to protect the fragile cork. Decant for 1-2 hours to allow its mature aromas to unfold. It is likely in its mature drinking window, best enjoyed now.
