wine serving
What are the serving recommendations and optimal drinking window for this 2004 Ornellaia Magnum?
This 2004 Ornellaia Magnum (1.5L) is a powerful and complex Super Tuscan. We recommend serving it at 16-18°C after decanting for 1-2 hours. Magnum bottles typically age slower and longer than standard bottles, so this wine is likely in its prime drinking window or still has significant aging potential. For opening, a two-pronged opener like the Ah-So, Durand, or Sovy Vintage Wine Opener can be useful for older vintages.

It pairs exceptionally well with rich, savory Asian meat dishes such as braised short ribs, Korean galbi, lamb curry, or robust stir-fries.
