identify a bottle of wine

[hotwine]

Welcome to the board. Sounds like a 1983 bottling from the St Joseph AOC in the northern Rhone between Condrieu and Cornas. Quality is impossible to judge without knowing the producer, and was spotty at best in that district, according to Larousse; only recently has it been improving as producers move their vines from the flats to the hillsides. Suggest you pull the cork and enjoy with beef and green veggies (and have another Rhone on standby as a spare in the event that one is history).
