how to store at home
Can you provide details on the bottle's condition (label, level, capsule) and offer advice on home storage? Is it a good value given its condition?
The bottle has a very damaged label (score 0) and a mid-shoulder fill level (score 0), which is a significant concern for a 2019 vintage, suggesting potential exposure or storage issues. The capsule is intact (score 10). While the condition issues present a risk, they also make this a high price-to-value choice if the wine is still sound. Store it horizontally in a cool, dark, and stable environment, ideally a wine fridge, to prevent further deterioration.
