How can it be spam? And I did put [FA] in the subject so it complies with
the news groups polices.
Thanks

I know this wine from the 70's era and still have 2 bottles of the 75
Riserva Vigna Monticchio. I notice the auction is about to end and there
have been no bids above the opening. The price is fairly high. I am not
in the market for any more wine from the 70's, but if I were, here is
what I would consider. This wine usually keeps well after 10 years with
near perfect storage. However my experience is that it often begins to
fade a bit after 20 years. Thus I would first try to find recent tasting
notes for the 74. I also would have to know storage conditions. It
should have been properly stored in the dark at a constant temperature
of 55 F or less. Then I would search out prices, if any could be found.
This can be an excellent wine, but it usually does not have the extreme
potential for long aging that some top examples of Brunello and Barolo
do. I suspect most are going to see the price, see no mention of proper
storage at constant 55 F or lower, and move on elsewhere without
bothering to contact the seller. We are not talking 1985 Romanee-Conti
here, where a potential buyer might go to a lot of trouble to research
the wine.

My mailbox is always full to avoid spam. To contact me, erase
from my email address. Then add . I do not
check this box every day, so post if you need a quick response.
