Drink 3 to 10 from vintage. Young vintages benefit from 30-90 minutes of decanting; mature bottles should be handled carefully for sediment.
Asparagus risotto is the canonical pairing; Goat cheese salad is the other strong match. Herbal Sauvignon Blanc echoes asparagus while barrel weight balances the risotto cream.
