Hi all, just got a delivery of the lovely 904 (2015) which I want to store for a few years. However, i noticed that the cork (same for all bottles) is somewhat sticking out.
None of the previously shipped bottles looked like this and I'm worried its indicative of bad storage.
Thank you for your thoughts

It’s nothing you’re fine
That doesn’t look like it’s sticking out. Nothing is puckered. No leakage. I think you’re fine.
Could be just the shape of the wrapper, looks embossed on the top, so it’s thicker there. I wouldn’t be worried.
You’ll know when you take the wrapper off if the cork is pushed, but I don’t think so.
Had I’d seen signs of seepage, I would be alarmed, but it looks fine. Could be a bottling issue.
Thank you, everyone, for your reassuring replies!
