Cellaring & drinking window

Confirm the bottle’s vintage before choosing a long-term drinking window. Without that detail, a reliable “drink by” date cannot be assigned. Store unopened bottles in darkness around 55°F (13°C), away from vibration and temperature swings, with natural-cork bottles on their side.

Pairing & serving

Serve at 57–61°F (14–16°C) with mushrooms, roast game or aged cheese. Taste first and decant gently if it needs air or has sediment.

After opening & when to enjoy

Recork and refrigerate after opening. Aim to enjoy within 3–5 days for the freshest flavor, letting each pour warm toward the suggested serving temperature.
