It's a wine to savor and appreciate its evolution. Serving an older wine like this 2001 requires a bit of care. Ensure the bottle has been stored properly. Stand it upright for a day or two before serving to allow any sediment to settle. Decanting is often recommended for older red Burgundies to allow them to breathe and to separate from sediment, but be gentle and monitor its evolution in the decanter. Serve at cellar temperature, around 16-18°C (60-64°F). Be mindful that older corks can be fragile, so use a good quality corkscrew.
