Cellaring & drinking window

This is a mature-vintage red to assess for drinking now if well stored. An exact-bottle drinking window has not been verified, so we do not promise a further number of cellar years. Store unopened in darkness around 55°F (13°C), with stable temperature; keep natural-cork bottles on their side.

Pairing & serving

Serve around 62–65°F with roast beef, braised lamb or mature cheese. Taste first, then decant gently if the wine seems closed or shows sediment.

After opening & when to enjoy

Recork and refrigerate after opening. Check the wine the same day and aim to finish within 1–3 days; a developed bottle may fade sooner. Allow each pour to warm toward serving temperature.
