info/value of very old red wine

[wondersofwine]

Welcome to the wine board. I can't tell you about its history but I have grave doubts as to value. Not all wines appreciate in value as they age. In fact about 90% or more are intended to drink within 2-3 years after bottling. I don't think Provence is noted for long-aging wines so this wine is probably past drinking by some decades. I'm sorry if this is unwelcome news.
