CONDITION LEGEND

 

Some of our wines may have conditions with respect to the age of the bottle. Cultwine shall accurately reflect these conditions with abbreviation tables found in the wine table below. We want all of our Private Clients to have the accurate information regarding the conditions of these wines so you can make informed decisions. Please do not hesitate to call us if you have any questions with respect to any of these listed conditions. Wine Photos are always available upon request. Note: Wines without conditions are considered to be in “excellent/pristine” condition.
