It was OK, little faded as one may expect, but certainly good for the price. I had bought a few of them a couple years ago for like $35 a bottle so I guess I can say it was fabulous if you look at from QPR perspective.
I find there's good value in buying big names in off years. I'd avoid 70's stuff, but 80's is still fair game for bdx when priced right. Some wines like Burgundy of CdP, age is everything so I'd take an average mature bottle over a better recent bottle of the same price point.
