Barbaresco for 99 cent a bottle ...

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone else saw this ... I was at Grocery Outlet in Redwood City (CA) over the weekend, and they were selling a wine called LUIGI CALISSANO BARBARESCO 1991, for 99 cents a 750 ml bottle.

So I figured what the heck, and bought a case.

I thought it was kind of interesting for a 16 year old wine.

The main thing I thought was "wrong" with it, was the clarity was off (a little bit of a haze).

Taste wise, I thought it was a bit tanic, but from what I've read about Barbarescos, that's what they're supposed to be like.

Anyone else try this?

Cheers, John

Doesn't make sense: or they wrote the wrong price, or they are selling it off because it has been badly stored and is probably gone. No way to have a barbaresco bottle for less than an euro (I could say 8 euro) even here in Italy.
