Barolo Cantine Lanzavecchia DOC 1973

The big question is whether an old wine should be drunk.
Quality systematically declines around 20 years.

Be aware that it is quite possible when you open an old wine that it is no longer ready to drink.
Can be used purely as decoration and enjoy the antiquity of the bottle.

Did you know that (old) wine is also seen as an investment? Return is high. The older the wine, the more the price rises. That makes sense, because everything that is scarce has a price label attached to it.
