Bad storage conditions, and the colour gives it away before you even smell it - this wine is close to being a complete corpse. Brown, maderised, vinegar edge, thin. Possibly Croatina and Barbera - if so, the former's tannin was no match for the latter's acidity over sixty years of poor storage. A sip for curiosity, nothing more. But then again, there are wines that can outlive all of us - with the right inputs and the right cellar, wine can do wonders. This one just didn't get either.
