A friend was cleaning out their basement, found this old bottle and gifted it to us because we are "wine people." I was not expecting much [anything] from a 28-year old bottle of <$15 wine. The capsule was was beat up so I assumed the cork was shot. But, it turned out to be in good shape, and came out easily with a Durand. The wine far exceeded expectations. Somewhat muted nose, but with still nice fruit, very smooth tannins and mouthfeel, and pleasant tertiary flavors. All things considered, pretty amazing!

Cork had dried out. Certainly past its peak but still drinkable
