Serving Recommendation

Serve at around 60–65°F. Because this is a mature vintage bottle, allow it to stand upright before opening. Decant gently only if sediment is present, and let the wine evolve slowly in the glass.

Food Pairing

Pairs beautifully with dry-aged steak, roasted lamb, prime rib, duck, braised short ribs, veal, mushroom risotto, truffle dishes, aged cheddar, and classic steakhouse cuisine.
