Yeah, I know, it's me - the teetotaler. So, I came across a dusty bottle of Barton & Guiestier Pommard in my basement... vintage 1983. Tell, me how bad is this going to be? :blink: Should I not even bother opening it?

Italian tenor Enrico Caruso (1873-1921)

Open it for fun. Have a backup. B&G is the kind of wine I found pretty darn classy from roughly the time discovered it, as an 18-year-old busboy in a department store restaurant impressed by the acceptable quality of the wine and the legant Frenchiness of the label (it didn't have the funny beflagged house you see in the link), and the time I actually started learning something about wine.

If I recall, Pommards are tough old birds, maybe you'll be pleasantly surprised.
