Thanks for the comments. Now I'm more encouraged to open it, although I'll
certainly decant it first to check for any sediment I've not noticed by
holding the bottle to a lamp. Sorry to be so "green", but I've very little
experience with French wines, let alone vintages that are older than some
of the French women I used to date when I was in college (quite some time
ago). I'm more of a New World wine drinker, esp. those originating in
Mendoza, San Juan and Cafayette.
