Serving Recommendations:
Temperature: Serve at cellar temperature, around 18-20°C (64-68°F), to allow the wine’s aromas and flavors to fully develop.
Glassware: Use a large, Bordeaux-style wine glass to capture the wine’s aromatics and allow for swirling.
Decanting: Decant for at least an hour before serving to aerate the wine and enhance its complexities.
Storage: Store in a cool, dark place with stable temperature and humidity levels, ideally laying the bottle on its side to keep the cork moist.
