wine serving
What is the recommended serving temperature and drink window for this wine? What type of opener should I use?
This 1984 Cornas is a very mature wine, best served at 16-18°C. It is likely at the end of its drinking window, so enjoy it soon. Given its age, we strongly recommend using a Sovy Vintage Wine Opener, Ah-So, or Durand opener to safely remove the cork, and decanting for 30-60 minutes to separate any sediment.
