how to store at home
Could you provide details on the bottle's condition (label, level, capsule), any precautions, and home storage advice?
The label is very damaged. The fill level is Mid Shoulder (MS). The capsule is in perfect condition. Given the very young vintage of 2023, these significant condition issues (severely damaged label and mid-shoulder fill level) are unusual and should be noted. Despite these issues, if priced accordingly, it could offer a very good value for money. For optimal preservation, store this wine horizontally in a cool, dark place with stable temperature and humidity, away from vibrations.
