A flown bird, I'd suspect - 1961 Chateau Coutet from the Barsac commune 
in the Saurernes region of Bordeaux. I got this following the death of a 
friend of mine back in 2001 and tried to nurse it with a view to opening 
it on his 20th anniversary in 2021. It always had a lower level than 
optimum, but I forgot to check the cork last year, and at a guess, I'd 
say it's history. I'll find out at the weekend. One small step for a 
man: one giant gulp for mankind.

Sony A7ii with FE Zeiss Sonnar 55/1.8.
