Château De Blaignac Tinto

Description

According to its age, wines may show marks left by time, such as dust traces on the bottles and/or some damage to the labels, which is common in wines that have been stored for decades. The National Cellar commits to store all wines at the correct temperature and humidity but always chooses to preserve the visual appearance inherent to their age. We generally select brands/regions that usually make a good impression in old‑wine tastings. However, wine is a living organism that, like others, is exposed to time and even inside a bottle its aromas evolve. Thus, the National Cellar cannot be held responsible for the wine’s quality, given that it is an old wine. Our recommendation is to open and let the bottle aerate beforehand, as this will help release the wine’s natural aromas after so many years closed. Avoid decanting; it may be too aggressive for old wines. (illustrative image)
