Broken capsule; exposed cork question

I was looking through some bottles I am cellaring and noticed one of the capsules had its top peeled off, exposing the cork. Should I drink this bottle now or can I let the bottle continue to slumber?

Thanks!
 
Capsules nowadays are just for show. Did the cork push out through the capsule? That would be cause for alarm.
 
The only reason for concern is if the cork has pushed through the top of the capsule, which would be a sign either of extreme heat damage or refermentation in the bottle. Short of that, no worries.
