This wine should definitely be starting its' prime years.

I'd take even more care in the decanting process. When you see that first bit of cloud, STOP!! Even if there is still a glass worth of wine in the bottle.

Stand it up for at least two days. I'd go 3 or 4, just to be certain everything has settled. Don't worry about the cork drying out in that small amount of time.

Be sure to let us know how it went.

I looked up current pricing on that bottle.

Your son is very generous with your credit card.

  He paid (okay, actually I paid) "only" $1200 for it and convinced my wife (his co-conspirator) that it was "a steal" at that price! Online searches seem to substantiate his claim. Regardless, this is WAY beyond anything else I have ever had wine-wise. The rationale is that I only turn 60 once.
  
  I hope I am worthy!

    Compared to what I also found, most were at least $1500.
    It looks like he did some pretty serious shopping to find it at that price.
    
    Please report back on the festivities that ensue. I can only speak for myself but I've not hit the jackpot with such a bottling as that and am interested in what you think.
    Best,
    Mike

    Now you can tell your wife that you need such things on a regular basis.
    
    You only turn 60 and one month once. Good bottle of wine. Etc..
    
    She can do without that shopping trip.
    
    On second thought, good luck with that.
