OBV1970 library stock?

Post by nac »

Is anyone aware of any late or library stock releases of OBV1970?

The reason for asking is that I've just acquired a 12bt case in OWC, where the OWC is immaculate, the bottles look freshly labelled and are packed in new cardboard sleeves.

Have questioned the wine merchant to see if I can get some info from the vendor, but that's drawing a blank.

I suspect it is a library stock release, but don't remember seeing or hearing about one.

Having examined the OWC more carefully, it's clear from its construction that it's not modern. Similarly the old style sellos and large (slightly rusted) staples in the bottle sleeves point to an original release. So, conclusion is that its just been very well stored. A case of Delaforce 1970 from the same source is equally "original".
