Near Mint. Quite a superb bottle which we have never seen before. Some cork residue on inner lip, looking at a line of dust starting half way down the inner lip, it would appear the cork has been in place until recent times. Some fine dirt and dust internally, mainly around the inner base. Some grime around the shoulder and around the edges of the two labels. The main label has some tears in the middle and around the upper edge, only small portions are missing. Label is faded and quite worn as well. The small right hand side label is unreadable with part of it missing as well. The embossing has been highlighted with some white paint of sorts. The crown and key are well embossed, the writing is very lightly embossed, hence the use of the white to make it clearly readable. There is actually a shield starting under the crown going under the key and around the writing, this has not been highlighted, and so would signify what some of the embossing may look like without the white on it. Quite a lovely bottle all round. Grade: 9.2 Estimate: $200 - 250
