The vineyard was planted in 1971; the old vines apparently didn't ripen all that well, as the finished wine, though dry, is only 11% alcohol. It's an odd bottle all around, with very low pH (2.77), tart and diffuse fruit, and no telltale markers for the variety. Two bottles tasted with similar results.
