I have an uncracked bottle sitting in front of me! Long story, but thanks to my cousin who has no idea about it just gave it to me thinking it was nothing.

Anybody have any idea of how much its worth? thanks alot if you do.

Some of the best wine I have ever had was probably a $25 dollar bottle :/

Paying a lot for the name!

ive drank from 2 different bottles of dom but both were before i knew that the date might be relevent so i cant really relate... as for price both of the ones my parents had were bought for about 150 and were bought at half price as my uncle owns a liquor store.

By not storing it properly... thats the thing with old wines, you have to take care of them so they dont dry out. cause all the ingredients will separate in a way and fall to the bottom of the bottle if stored upright. and they wont mix back together.

im sure you can find it on google.

Or just watch the pawn stars episode, the guy explains it pretty clearly.

My dad got a $500 bottle of wine when we were out for dinner in the Bahamas one year. I had a sip, felt like a boss.
