ATM, I think it is a 1964 Vieux Ch Certan (although it is likely to go down in the next 2 weeks). I have a couple of bottles of 1970 Figeac and some 1978 Oddero Barolo. I’ve had older stuff, from the 50s, but not now.
That was my personal experience though, it is hard to know though with such old bottles how they will react when opened. Hopefully yours will be better. Can’t beat the experience of drinking it though!

1989 Château d’Yquem.
Since you didn’t specify unopened I still have a little bit of 1898 Henrique & Henrique Verdelho left from my 50th birthday
1945 Latour.
I rarely see bottles from 1900-1919 around. Why is that? That a WWI thing?
I see bottles from the late 1800’s and then it seems to jump to the 1930’s and 40’s.
Fortified: 1908 D’Oliveiras Bual Madeira
Non-fortified: 1964 Conterno Barolo Monfortino
An 1834 Barbeito Malvasia
1959 Château Suduiraut. Lots of 1963 Port, which Berserkers are free to persuade me to open.
A scattering of '66 Bordeaux as the oldest non-fortified.
If I ever buy a wine older than these, it will probably be a Madeira. I sure would love to taste a top '59 Burgundy again, though.

That’s a great wine.[/quote]
Couldn’t agree anymore and certainly better after a couple of months open when the old church smells really start rocking and rolling.
Oldest red: 1952 Latour
Oldest fortified: 1890 Terrantez from an unknown producer
