Need to know how it’s been stored all this time.

The enemies of wine are heat and light.

Stored in fridge at 58-60 degrees? If so, excellent for quality aging.

At room temp at 71 degrees? Not so great for aging.



All of this. I would be really nervous buying a 48 yr old bottle of wine from someone unless they had a really good storage set up in the house. I'd prefer a reputable dealer.

I talked to QBin liquors, she said the risk is probably worth it for the money, especially if I can get it for $400-500. If someone has this bottle, they know what they have, and will baby it, not treat it like a bottle of Thunderbird
