Canon - Serving temperature for Bordeaux: Small adjustment, big effect

Temperature influences perception more strongly than many structural parameters. It modulates alcohol, acidity, and texture simultaneously.

Too warm increases the alcohol impression and softens the flavor, too cold dampens the aromas and shifts the tannin perception.

Serving temperature ≠ Drinking temperature

Serving temperature ≠ room temperature

Consequence: Inappropriate temperature distorts the perception of structure and leads to misjudgments about style and balance.
