Should Cabernet Sauvignon be decanted?Yes, particularly for younger vintages. We recommend decanting Millon Cabernet Sauvignon for 30-60 minutes before serving to allow the wine to open up, revealing its full spectrum of aromas and softening any youthful tannins.

For optimal enjoyment, serve Millon Cabernet Sauvignon between 16-18°C. This slightly below room temperature allows the wine's structure and complexity to shine without overwhelming its more delicate aromatic notes.
