Cellaring & drinking window

Kerin O’Keefe suggests 2027–2042, while Wine Advocate’s Monica Larner gives 2026–2045. Both point toward a long period of potential enjoyment under careful storage. This is guidance for a well-stored bottle, not an expiry date; storage history and personal taste affect when to open it. Store unopened in darkness at a stable temperature around 55°F (13°C), away from vibration; keep natural-cork bottles on their side.

Pairing & serving

Serve at 60–65°F with roast lamb or mushroom pasta. Taste first and decant gently if closed.

After opening & when to enjoy

Recork and refrigerate upright after opening. A developed bottle may show best on the day it is opened; taste again the next day before keeping it longer. Let each pour warm slightly before serving.
