D. Urraca Tinto

Description

The bottles of older wines may show traces of dust and damaged labels, as expected for their age. The National Cellar commits to storing all wines at the proper temperature and humidity, but always chooses to preserve the visual appearance associated with their age. We select brands/regions that, in general, display distinct characteristics in tastings of vintage wines. However, we note that wine is a living organism that, when exposed to time, can evolve inside a bottle—the aromas are subject to various changes. Accordingly, the National Cellar cannot be held responsible for the product’s quality, as it is an aged wine. Our recommendation is to open the bottle and let the wine aerate first, which will help release its natural aromas after so many years sealed. If you choose to decant before serving, do so patiently so you can detect the emergence of sediment, which a vintage wine tends to produce. (Illustrative image)
