how to store at home
Could you provide details on the bottle's condition (label, fill level, capsule)? Are there any precautions, and how should it be stored at home?
The bottle has a very damaged label and a mid shoulder fill level, which is highly concerning for a 2019 vintage. The capsule is perfect. A mid shoulder fill for such a young wine strongly suggests severe heat damage or cork failure, which would likely compromise the wine's quality. We advise caution and recommend consuming it soon. Store in a cool, dark place with stable humidity.
