This item has been stored in a temperature-controlled, dark room, and a humidity-controlled underground cellar. The box shows some signs of aging. Please check the photos. This is a champagne that has been discontinued, which is a shame. I believe the aging condition is excellent. It has become quite delicious through aging. It has a beautiful color when poured into a glass, and it's very pretty. If stored in a cellar or cave, you should still be able to enjoy further aging. I think it's a valuable bottle. I hope those who love Roederer will enjoy it. No claims and no returns, please.
