This wine was excellent years ago, and often improves for 25-plus years, especially the Vieilles Vignes bottling. This example, sadly, had turned to shellac. I suspect bad storage somewhere along he way, although color was perfectly healthy. Hoping to taste a better bottle to learn where it stacks among the great vintages of the 1970s through 1983.

So far gone despite kept in excellent storage conditions. Undrinkable by at least 5 years. Bummer.
