Richebourg 2017: identification and appraisal guide
Leave Richebourg 2017 unchanged and capture the complete wine bottle before moving closer to labels, marks or areas of wear. Use a straight-on image for the date wording 2017, supported by one view of the complete wine bottle.
Identification details
- Product name: Richebourg 2017
- Category: wine
- Date or decade shown: 2017
- Marks and details to photograph: the producer, appellation, vintage, bottle size and bottle-base markings
Read the date wording 2017 from the item and keep it tied to the wine bottle. That is the starting point for reviewing Richebourg 2017.
Photographs and condition
Capture the visible details in photos of front and back labels, capsule, closure, fill level, bottle base, case and accessories. Make sure the overview and detail images clearly belong together.
To record condition clearly, photograph fill level, capsule, closure, labels, glass and original case. Note anything that is damaged, replaced or no longer present.
Storage, accessories and handover
During the initial review period, leave the bottle in its present stable position in a dark place with an even, cool temperature. Minimise movement and vibration, and leave the capsule, cork, closure and label untouched.
From photography through handover, keep each bottle with its own case, tissue, booklet, invoice and provenance documents.
