Sounds like the Leroy was corked.
Also I like spinning capsules on newer wines such as these as they show no seepage.

The crux of the foregoing debate is whether fruit wine counts as brandy or only wine from grapes.
There is some fantastic Calvados!

Echoing what others said about old wine new bottles - common for Madeira, Rivesaltes, PX Sherry, Colheita, others.
About 7 years ago I had 1945 Cazes Rivesaltes which looked like this - new bottle - but tasted very authentic.
Not saying this is but the new bottle is totally understandable.
