how to store at home
What are the specific condition details of this bottle (label, level, capsule), any precautions, and how should it be stored at home?
This bottle exhibits a very damaged label (score 0) and an extremely low fill level (mid shoulder, score 0) for a young 2020 vintage. While the capsule is perfect, these severe conditions suggest a high risk of oxidation or other quality issues. We recommend consuming this bottle very soon after purchase, if at all, and storing it with extreme care in a cool, dark place with stable temperature (12-15°C) and humidity (around 70%), laid horizontally.
