What the seller has recorded about this particular lot, and what nobody has.
4 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 6 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
Magnum at top shoulder — honest for a five-year-old bottle stored upright for part of its life. No seepage.
