AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Visual Description

This old wine bottle has a classic, high-shouldered Bordeaux silhouette, made of green glass. The original cap, red with traces of whitish sediment, is still in place. The main label, clearly legible on the front, mentions "Château du Glana", vintage 1970, and "Grand Cru Exceptionnel". The central illustration depicts the château surrounded by its vineyards, typical of traditional Bordeaux labels. "Saint-Julien" is printed in red at the bottom of the label, highlighting the prestigious Médoc appellation. The wine level appears stable and consistent with a wine of this age, with no visible leakage on the presented side.

The upper part of the cap shows slight wear, with some natural aging marks, typical of a bottle stored for several decades. The label, with a slightly patinated appearance, remains in good overall condition despite some discrete marks on the edges. Additional inscriptions such as "Gabriel Meffre" and "Appellation Saint-Julien contrôlée" are clearly printed, lending further authenticity to the bottle.

The bottle is photographed on a wooden background, with natural light coming from a stained-glass window, which highlights the deep color of the wine it contains. No structural defects are visible on the exposed part, nor any chips on the glass. The whole has retained a traditional and elegant appearance, characteristic of old great Bordeaux wines.
