When to Drink Famille Isabel Ferrando, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Famille Isabel Ferrando can be enjoyed on the young side if decanted for 1-2 hours or so. This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment.
Famille Isabel Ferrando is usually better with 4-6 years of bottle age. Of course, that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage. In the best vintages, the wine should be consumed within 5-22 years after the vintage.
