I take my wine a bit older than myself

By chance we entered a enoteca in Urbino, because we wanted to buy a bottle of wine, that was produced with the "Lacrima di Morro d'Alba" grapes. The reason for this, was because of what happened the night before.

The night before Sara and I had the pleasure of staying at a nice bed and breakfast, close to Urbino, where they had served us a wine (we choose the bottle our self), which I insisted was bad, and the Sommelier educated waiter insisted wasn't. They changed that bottle with out blinking, and we got a very nice bottle of something else red wine. But Since Sara and I were both convinced that wines made of the grape usually is good (Im still not sure, whether Sara thought that it was me and not the wine there was something wrong with, but she supported me anyway :)).

In this Enoteca we found a bottle like this, not the same as the evening before, but another wine from another house. As we were paying, I noticed some very old bottles on the top shelf. It was full of bottles from the 60s and the 70s for only 15 euros. ONLY 15 EUROS, I found a Barolo from 69 which I immediately feel in love with. So we bougth that one also. The owner told us that it was a but of a lottery, cause he couldn't guarantee that they were still good.

Anyway we finally found an evening where we would drink it. (Well after I made the big foto shoot of it.)



The cork smelled good, when I opened it, and after I decanted it, it had a nice red color. The fist taste of it, was good, but sadly the taste of cork was there and it sadly ruined the wine.

But I have to say its a special feeling to drink something that has been bottled before you have born, but I'm not sure I'm going to wait 39 years for other bottles, cause it feels a lot more like a waste to wait 39 years to discover that the poor wine is bad, then if its just a year, or an hour since you brought it home.

(By the way, the "Lacrima di Morro d'Alba" was great, and that was only one year old)
