Color can be all over the place on wines of this era and one color is not better than another. Some will be like a rose, some darker, some in the middle. The one thing that is generally bad is BROWN!
I would assume so, my thoughts are yes…but it’s all just a guess at this point. Maybe when I’ve had a few cases of wines that are sound and from the 60’s & 70’s I’ll feel more comfortable shifting from a guess to a statement.
