What the seller has recorded about this particular lot, and what nobody has.
2 of 4 parts assessed by the seller
Top Shoulder (TS)
Band 3 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.
Published guidance treats this fill as normal from about 15 years (Sotheby's, Tennants, WineBid). This bottle is about 7 years old, so the fill is lower than usual for its age.
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
Fill at top shoulder and some bin staining to the lower label.
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.

Encave's own record for this wine, and the wider market around it.
Trade seller
The seller has declared that they sell in the course of a business.
Unresolved: the Consumer Rights Act 2015 takes outside the meaning of “consumer”, for its rules on goods, an individual buying second-hand goods at a public auction at which individuals have the opportunity of attending the sale in person (s.2(5)). Cuvée's timed auctions run online only, so there is no sale an individual can attend in person. Whether that places a lot inside or outside the exclusion has not been settled, and Cuvée does not take a view either way. If a lot falls inside it, the Act rights set out above would not apply to that lot.
This sets out which rules apply to a sale, not how a dispute would be decided. It is not legal advice.
