Unclear when this was released. Judging by the label, it's at least 30 years old - but the degree symbol instead of % predates EU labelling rules, and the Italian import line at the bottom was dropped in the 80s, so this is likely 1970s or early 1980s. All speculation, of course. How's the wine? More or less dead - a relic of bad storage conditions and unknown potential. I've had older Champagnes in far better shape. What remains is oxidation, a ghost of fruit, and not much else. An archaeological artefact you can technically drink.
