From a 10 year vertical (1987-1996). All 10 are wrapped in paper in a wooden box. This is the first one I opened. The capsule was deteriorated to almost a powder and the cork was in very bad shape. I never smelled anything so bad (the cork). Surprisingly the neck fill was good and the wine was pretty good too. We drank this bottle and also the 1987 which also was pretty good. Definitely over the top by a few years but enjoyable still.
