Flavor profile

As an older collectible, its present flavor depends on storage and bottle condition; a modern-bottle tasting profile would not establish how this bottle will taste.

Pairing & serving

If opened, taste a small pour on its own first; mild nuts or plain crackers keep the pairing unobtrusive. Try neat at room temperature, then add a few drops of water or a large ice cube to taste. No decanting is needed.

After opening & when to enjoy

Store upright, cool and out of direct light. If opening this collectible bottle, check the closure carefully and reseal securely after pouring. Assess aroma and flavor as you go; decades in glass do not add barrel age, and a fixed freshness promise would be inappropriate.
