wine serving
What is the recommended serving temperature and decanting time for this 1992 Pavillon Rouge, and when is its optimal drinking window?
For this 1992 Pavillon Rouge, we recommend serving it at 16-18°C. Given its age, a gentle decant for 1-2 hours is advisable to allow it to open up. An Ah-So opener is recommended for older vintages like this to protect the cork. While 1992 was a challenging vintage, this wine should still offer an interesting experience, likely past its peak but potentially still enjoyable for those who appreciate mature Bordeaux.
