@liuzhou Is very correct. Rijoa Reserva are generally chosen from the best vintages and grapes rich enough to support being aged in oak for at least a couple of years. What happens to them after they are bottled is unknown, but after bottled, generally, are expected to be drank after 3 to 5 years. Some factors that might make it too far gone after 20 years are being stored upright, in a room with fluctuating temperatures, exposed to sunlight for a period of time . PS Very few wines continue improve with that much age even in the best of conditions.
