What are the recommended serving temperature, decanting suggestions, and optimal drinking window for this 1999 Pommard Clos Micault?
Serve this mature 1999 Pommard Clos Micault at 16-18°C. Given its age, a careful decant for 30-60 minutes to remove any sediment is recommended, or simply slow-ox in the glass.
