If it was only Celestia and Luna, I would've probably said immortal. But with the addition of Cadence (who clearly ages) and *sigh* Twilight (who again ages or rather grows), between 1k and who knows.

The two isn't necessarily mutually exclusive. Just because they aged doesn't mean they aren't immortal... I'm sure Celestia and Luna were kids at some point and grew.

In the episode "Have You Seen This Dragon?" Opaline said at the 19th minute that alicorns are immortal 
I apologize for not answering for a long time.

Well, it does check out. Yet another retcon, assuming Opaline didn’t state that metaphorically

Given everything we now know, it is unlikely that this was a metaphor.
