Château Haut-Brion 1986: identification and appraisal guide
Photograph Château Haut-Brion 1986 before cleaning or rearranging anything, showing the whole wine bottle, its condition and packaging in context. Preserve the current arrangement while documenting the date wording 1986 and the surrounding area.
Identification details
- Producer: Château Haut-Brion
- Product name: Château Haut-Brion 1986
- Category: wine
- Date or decade shown: 1986
- Marks and details to photograph: the producer, appellation, vintage, bottle size and bottle-base markings
Begin with the markings that are actually visible: the maker or producer name Château Haut-Brion and the date wording 1986. They should belong to the wine bottle and the packaging shown with it.
Photographs and condition
Pair the overall item with photos of front and back labels, capsule, closure, fill level, bottle base, case and accessories. Show both the readable detail and its position on the item.
Capture the current condition of fill level, capsule, closure, labels, glass and original case. Do not clean, polish or hide wear before the photographs are taken.
Storage, accessories and handover
Until Hong Kang advises the next step, retain the bottle's current stable position and protect it from light, heat, vibration and temperature swings. Do not disturb the capsule, cork or closure or attempt to clean the label.
When preparing for collection, keep each bottle with its own case, tissue, booklet, invoice and provenance documents.

Hong Kang can flag missing views after seeing the label, fill level, capsule or closure and any original case. Identity, condition and accessories are then checked together at handover.
