When to Drink Domaine du Grand Tinel, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time

Domaine du Grand Tinel can be enjoyed on the young side. Young vintages can be popped and poured, or decanted for 1-2 hours give or take. This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment.

Domaine du Grand Tinel is usually better with 3-5 years of bottle age. Of course that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage. In the best vintages, the wine should be consumed within 5-14 years after the vintage.
