Came across one bottle of this at a local shop today, for $70, and based on wine-searcher and winebid searches, it seems a fair price.

The gamble is on the provenance. The store is similar to a Binny's as far as store temperature and the bin the bottle is laying in. An inspection of the bottle shows a good-looking freely-spinning capsule, fill level well into the neck, and only a very slightly stained label.

So, 1) are there any other signs to look for, and 2) would you take the gamble and pull the trigger?

Thanks for the input.

i bought one of these a few weeks ago and it was just great. still a bit young but i say go for it.

Anthony, thanks for the note.

I bought it, and based on some notes I found on the board, I am going to let this one sleep for 5-8 years before opening it.
