Description

According to its age, wines may show marks left by time, such as dust on the bottles or damage to the labels—common in wines stored for decades. The National Cellar stores all wines at the correct temperature and humidity, but it always preserves the visual appearance that comes with age. We typically select brands or regions that perform well in old‑wine tastings. Wine is a living organism, exposed to time, and even inside a bottle its aromas evolve differently. Therefore, the National Cellar cannot be held responsible for the wine’s quality, given it is an old wine. We recommend opening and letting the bottle breathe first, as this helps release the natural aromas after so many years of being sealed. Avoid decanting, as it may be too aggressive for old wines.
