When to Drink Mas de Boislauzon, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Mas de Boislauzon can be enjoyed on the young side with 1-2 hours of decanting. This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment.
Mas de Boislauzon is usually better with at least 5-7 years of bottle age. Of course, that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage. In the best vintages, the wine should be consumed within 5-25 years after the vintage.
