Did you buy them at release or recently. I have one to take to our anniversary dinner but worry about it from your note.
Did it smell like gym socks or ???
Thank you -

With older bubbles I guess you might lose the remaining bubbles….
We had a 73 dom ruinart the other night and we had no hope for it. But it was stored well and still had fizz after the cork broke off and we used the Durant to get the remaining cork out. It was amazing -
