Château Virac J.Claude, Helene Trabut-Cussac Tinto

Description

According to its age, the wines may show signs left by time, such as dust traces on the bottles and/or some damage to the labels—common in bottles that have been stored for decades. Garrafeira Nacional commits to storing all wines at the correct temperature and humidity but always preserves the visual appearance inherent to their age. We usually select brands/regions that perform well in vintage wine tastings. However, wine is a living organism that, like others, is exposed to time, and even inside a bottle the aromas evolve. Therefore Garrafeira Nacional 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 air out beforehand, as this will help release the wine’s natural aromas after so many years closed. Avoid decanting, as it may be too aggressive for old wines. (illustrative image)
