When to Drink Chateau Quinault L'Enclos, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time

Chateau Quinault L'Enclos is better with at least 3-5 years of bottle age. Of course, that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage.

Chateau Quinault L'Enclos is best enjoyed in the first 3-15 years of life. Young vintages can be decanted for about 1 hour to 90 minutes. This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment.
