What Era?

Supposedly from the 70s, though some research indicates it could be 80s, even early 90s.

Has only a label on the front, no label on the back, no barcode. Label does not even indicate volume, I think it is 1 liter though. It does say 44 degrees. A bit of wear on the label, but otherwise in really good condition. Cap is perfect.

I really want to open it and try it out, but at the same time I want to preserve it. I know it was common-place in the French market at one point.

Anybody have more info on this bottle, and would love opinions - keep it intact, or open and enjoy?

Found this...

...at a local mom & pop shop. Caps indicate Best if used by 2017...but it looks good. No crystallization or sedimentation, no leakage. Dark, but clear, and viscosity seems "normal", if there is such a thing. Probably has had a fair amount of light exposure, though it wasn't in direct sunlight where it was in the place.

Assume they've had it for its duration, got 'em for a good price. Thinking just to keep one as a curio, I don't think this is sold in the USA any longer? Dunno! I'll open the other and make some Ti' punch with it. Well, if it doesn't taste funny that is.

Anyway, thought it was kind of a cool and interesting find.
