wine serving
What are the recommended serving temperature, decanting time, and drink window for this wine? Should I use an Ah-So opener?
For this 1999 Chateau Mouton Rothschild, serve at 16-18°C. Decant for 1-2 hours to allow it to open up. The optimal drink window is now through 2035 and beyond. Given its age, we highly recommend using an Ah-So opener to protect the delicate cork.
