could you tell me what this wine is worth? itI was given 3 bttl 6 years ago and have never been able to locate it or price it....thx M.J.
Answer From Expert Roger Bohmrich MW

You can find vintages of this property from the decade of the 1980's being offered at this time for under $50 per bottle. The true value, however, of a single bottle - unless it is one of the world's rarest - is to be found in the glass. As to the condition of the wine, that will depend on how it has been treated over the years. In any event, don't wait any longer to open the bottle.
