The bottle
What the seller has recorded about this particular lot, and what nobody has.
Condition
1 of 4 parts assessed by the seller
Low Shoulder (LS)
Band 9 of 11 on the Encave Bordeaux-shouldered scale v1, where band 1 is into the neck. Band rows in this diagram are evenly spaced and are not to scale.
Fill level cannot tell you how the bottle was stored. One hot shipment can cost more fill than thirty years of cellaring.
In the seller's words
Purchased: Amazin. Storage: Garage. Label: Torn or damaged
Where a part says “not assessed”, nobody has recorded it. Other auction houses treat a blank as the best grade — one states in its own glossary that an unindicated fill level means base of neck or higher. Encave does not. Ask the seller before bidding.

Seller capacity not declared
The seller has not said whether they sell in the course of a business.
- Which rules apply to this lot depends on whether the seller is a trader or a private individual, and that has not been established.
- Cuvée does not infer it. Nothing in a seller's tax status or trading history on the platform answers the question.
- Ask the seller before you bid.
This sets out which rules apply to a sale, not how a dispute would be decided. It is not legal advice.
