AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This listing is for an antique wine bottle, clearly identifiable in the photo as a 1970 vintage of Château du Glana, from the Saint-Julien appellation, Bordeaux. The bottle has a classic Bordeaux shape, with a high shoulder and a long neck, typical of the great wines of the region. The glass of the bottle appears dark, almost black, with slight transparency on the upper part, which is characteristic of red wines meant for aging.

The front label, clearly visible, states: "Château du Glana", "Grand Cru Exceptionnel", "1970", and "Saint-Julien". An illustration of the château surrounded by vineyards can also be distinguished, a traditional graphic often used for Bordeaux wines to highlight the origin of the estate. The label's printing shows an old typography, with mentions in red and black, reinforcing the authenticity and age of the vintage.

The neck is covered with a patinated, dark red capsule, bearing the inscription "CHÂTEAU DU GLANA" and partially legible mentions. An auction label "PRADO FALQUE ENCHERES 122 Vente de Vin" is affixed to the shoulder, indicating a recent passage through an auction house.

The bottle is photographed standing on a wooden table, in an antique interior setting, which highlights its authentic and vintage character. No other accessories or packaging elements are visible in the image.

Signs of wear are visible on the capsule, as well as a general patina on the label, with some marks and stains, signs of the natural aging of a wine from this period. The color of the wine visible in the neck shows a dark ruby hue, typical of old Bordeaux wines.
