wine serving
What are the serving recommendations and optimal drinking window for this 1990 Gros Frere et Soeur Bourgogne Rouge Hautes Cotes de Nuits?
This 1990 Burgundy is a mature wine. We recommend serving it at 14-16°C (57-60°F). Decanting should be done carefully, if at all, to avoid disturbing sediment and to preserve delicate aromas. Its optimal drinking window is now, likely peaking or gently declining, so enjoy it soon. For older wines like this, consider using a Durand opener, Ah-So opener, or Sovy Vintage Wine Opener to protect the fragile cork.
