Chateau Tour du Haut Moulin is usually better with 1-3 years of bottle age. Of course, that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage character. In the best years, the wine will be best between 10-15 years of age after the vintage.

Young vintages can be decanted for an average of 1 hour or so. This allows the wine to soften, and open its perfume.
