wine serving
What are the recommended serving conditions and drink window for this wine?
For this 1994 vintage, we recommend serving it at 16-18°C. Decanting for 30-60 minutes can help it open up. It is currently in its prime drinking window, but can still age gracefully for several more years. Given its age, an Ah-So wine opener is highly recommended to prevent cork breakage.
