We did OTB(a wsj trademark) with some friends on sat. among others, a '55 bechyvelle that wife bought at 3 for $10 about 40 years ago, an '87 marque de murietta white reserva, a 90 chas montrechet(rouge) a 94 phelps insg., a 90 suiderout. sorry about the spelling. us old farts have all kinds of stuff hanging around.

Was this red or white. very little CC red out there, I did not think latour made one. holding 15 yo white burg is very risky. my 96&97's are ungood.

there is a very good chance that the bottle of being counterfit. If red, I would really contact LL and have him poke at the bottles. I have never had a problem like this, and have opened about 30,000 bottles in my days.
