The Finest Wines Known To Humanity- Not

There's a big bottle rack in the corner of the garage. I'd assumed everything on it was home brew (and disgusting) but my sister went through it at the weekend and found several bottles of "real" wine my parents had stashed away and forgotten. I opened one of them yesterday. It was a Cotes du Roussillon- vintage 1990. Ailz and my mother liked it well enough but I thought it tasted of nothing very much- watered down vinegar perhaps.

I don't know the weather there - maybe it got too hot?

I don't think it was ever a wine that was going to
improve with keeping- and a quarter of a century is a very long time...
