Overview
Château Margaux 2016: identification and appraisal guide
Photograph Château Margaux 2016 before cleaning or rearranging anything, showing the whole wine bottle, its condition and packaging in context. Do not separate the wine bottle from its accessories until the date wording 2016 has been documented.
Identification details
- Producer: Château Margaux
- Product name: Château Margaux 2016
- Category: wine
- Date or decade shown: 2016
- Marks and details to photograph: the producer, appellation, vintage, bottle size and bottle-base markings
Make the maker or producer name Château Margaux and the date wording 2016 readable in the overview for Château Margaux 2016. Close-ups should still be traceable to the wine bottle.
Photographs and condition
Begin at a distance and then move closer to front and back labels, capsule, closure, fill level, bottle base, case and accessories. A wider companion image should place every close-up in context.
Make any wear clear by photographing fill level, capsule, closure, labels, glass and original case. Separate visible condition from assumptions about age or rarity.
Storage, accessories and handover
After the condition photos are taken, keep the bottle steady in its existing position, with low light and a consistently cool temperature. Avoid vibration or repeated handling. Do not disturb the capsule, cork, closure or label.
For handover, keep each bottle with its own case, tissue, booklet, invoice and provenance documents.
