OP isn't hoping for a quality gain. He's hoping it's still drinkable after a couple years in the basement.
I tasted this wine once. Wife and I were down in South Philly for dinner and arrived early to ensure we found parking. We went to a local bar before dinner. It's didn't look that bad on the outside. But on the inside... Man. What a dive. My wife is a classy chick and stands out in places like this. She can't blend in with her clear skin and bright eyes. We overhear a guy talking loudly on the phone wondering how long it will take to get his bail money back after his court appearance. Another guy at the bar says we should come back later that night after 8 pm because that's when the go-go dancers take the stage. I order a beer and wife orders a class of red wine. The bartender says we'll have open a new bottle and pulls this big jug of Rossi. Oh, it's nothing like the Barefoot Cabernet that we usually drink.
I get it, and I tried to be polite.
