I have one bottle of Corton Bonneau Du Martray 1982 Burgundy Red that has been stored in my basement for twenty years. It must have been a wedding present. What the value of this wine today?
Thanks for any comments.

Noted producer, Grand Cru wine, difficult vintage. My computer at work doesn't allow access to wine-searcher.com but you might be able to find a price there or with a Google search on your computer. If your goal is to sell the wine, single bottles are harder to sell than by the case for collectors, and if you cannot vouch for the storage conditions, the buyer may balk. If you are a wine lover yourself, you might want to uncork and emjoy with dinner--maybe something special like roast duck or quail. Best to have a backup bottle of some red wine in case the wine is over-the-hill or "cooked" in high temperatures (don't know how well cooled your basement is).
