RolfT commented:

11/12/19, 9:09 AM - I believe that the code on your cork means that the wine is disgorged 1st quarter of 2006.

In some cases there are many different disgorgements of the same version and overlapping with other versions, so difficult to say exactly but I know that the two codes below belong to the following:

V9xx is 2003 base.
V8xx is 2002 base.

So you might with good reason assume that:

V7xx is 2001 base
V6xx is 2000 base
and so on...
