Aabalat Fine & Rare Wines

Ordered a few times without issue. And no, a retailer is not responsible for a decades-old bottle of wine "going bad." It's the risk you take as a customer.

I've ordered a few times from Aabalat and have been pleased every time. Shipping is quick, product is exactly as described, and the prices are reasonable considering its vintage wine. I recommend buying that rare bottle you are having a hard time finding from them.

Ordered several times, including aged vintage port from the 70s. Always easy. Shipped speedily with no issues. Quick to respond via email. Love it!

So nice in helping me ship a bottle of wine!

Caveat Emptor!!!
My adult children sprang for a ‘58 Barolo to celebrate my 60th.
Upon receipt, it went straight into my cellar, and 3 weeks later we opened it while together celebrating Easter. Although the wine’s having turned (gone bad) was not disputable, Aabalat refused to take responsibility. Not even store credit was offered as “They don’t stand behind their wines”.
If we’d ordered the same bottle at a restaurant we certainly would not have been expected to pay for it... not sure why Aabalat feels they bear no responsibility for having sold a bad bottle of wine?
I offered to provide both videos of the bottle being opened with the cork crumbling and photos of the brown wine in a clear decanter... they had no interest.
Lesson learned!
