What do members make of the cork stopper? Would you read anything into this?

Would not read anything into the stopper, or use it towards dating. It is not often that a bottle still has an original stopper.

Makes sense. Thanks for info George. Was speaking to a dealer recently and he said that the older bottles would have used paper rather then cork for the stopper, but of course parts of old bottles are repaired over the years I suppose or loose their original lid altogether...
