Nice. I recently wound up with a well-preserved Constellation and when I opened it up and saw a gasket that was NOT reduced to a black paste, I thought something had gone terribly wrong. It was like the first time my grandmother served me fresh produce as a child*. Having been raised on frozen vegetables, I thought spinach was naturally cube-shaped and non-soggy green beans were stale.
* I was the child; my grandmother was a good deal older at that time.
