This wine was made 4 years before I was 👶
The cork came out without much of a fight. I immediately smelled berries when I popped it. Encouraging! The color in the glass is a dark/tawny brick. Almost iced tea but red-tinged.
The nose is fruity and floral; equal parts red berries and dusty, dried roses.
The first sip was a smack of cherries and eucalyptus, which in tandem make for an initial shot of cherry cough syrup. Underneath that, I distinctly taste black truffles, wet cigar, stewed tomatoes, and some blood-orange bitterness. It's very enjoyable.
Very low tannins (I was hoping for more, as 1971 was apparently a legendary year in N Italy), and plenty of gleaky acidity.
I really wish @Doug Powers was here.

Wow. I’ve never had a beer like this. Nose is spot on for a Thierry Allemand Cornas, with beautiful toluene and rich sweet fruit. Palate initially is heavy on the oak and then settles more and more towards a combination of complex Syrah and funky sour. — 8 years ago

Dried strawberry (strawberry base for this sour) ... and citrus rind. More exciting than some of the Brussels sours to be had @cantillon — 9 years ago
