You're luck on the good showing of this vintage. There's a lot of bottle variation with Dow '77. I have been hesitant to buy more of this vintage and recently turned down a case at $500 ![Help! [help.gif]](./images/smilies/help.gif)

I love when that happens and while I have had a few that were corked, the vast majority I've been a part of were also outstanding. Glad you liked this. As David mentioned, when they are in top form, it is a beauty. I wish I could still find them at $34 like they were at one time.
