Three Château Angélus 2002 bottles with OWC and two Opus One 2010 bottles — five-bottle index

Seller and Background

Seller: Mr. Chan, 52, corporate executive with more than ten years of wine-collecting experience and a temperature-controlled cabinet at home.
Reason: After a recent annual check-up, Mr. Chan’s doctor advised him to reduce alcohol for his long-term health. He adjusted his routine and devoted more time to a new interest in DSLR photography, releasing selected bottles that he was unlikely to open soon. This is his personal case, not medical advice.

From the Wine Cabinet to New Owners

On the previous Wednesday afternoon, Mr. Chan sent photographs through WhatsApp and asked about current buyback references. The images supported only an initial review.

The first wine was Château Angélus 2002 from Saint-Émilion on Bordeaux’s Right Bank. In Figure 1, three bottles rest in original wooden-case packing material. The source records intact bell labels and no visible capsule damage or oxidation. It describes 2002 as challenging but the wine as structured and aromatically complex; this is not a bottle-specific tasting assessment.

The second wine was Opus One 2010 from Napa Valley. In Figure 2, the source records clean labels on two bottles and identifies the familiar profiles of Baron Philippe de Rothschild and Robert Mondavi. It calls 2010 a strong Napa vintage in its drinking window with robust demand, but supplies no trade series or internal-condition evidence.

After an initial photograph review of fill, capsules and labels, the source says the parties agreed a provisional quote and an on-site inspection. No amount or universal response time is disclosed.

At the residence, the source records observation of the cabinet’s current temperature and humidity and the bottles’ visible condition. A spot reading does not prove the full storage history. After final agreement, the source says payment was made in cash and quotes Mr. Chan as saying he would use the proceeds to upgrade a camera lens. The case does not establish a general payment or timing outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What should I provide for an initial review?

Send clear photographs of the front label, back label, top of the capsule and full bottle showing the fill. The initial response is non-binding; physical inspection and provenance checks may still be required.

2. Can an Original Wooden Case Affect a Quote?

An OWC may support provenance and presentation and can affect buyer interest. It does not prove reliability, authenticity or a premium by itself; compare like-for-like bottles, condition and fees.

3. How should payment and handover security be handled?

Before releasing bottles, confirm both parties’ identity, the meeting location, privacy handling, inspection scope, cleared funds, payment account and handover sequence. Cash, FPS or bank transfer may be discussed for the exact transaction; no method removes all risk.

4. Can a bottle with mould or label damage be considered?

Possibly. Light label mould can occur in Hong Kong’s humid climate, but capsule damage, seepage, low fill and other defects may affect acceptance and price. Photographs support an initial review; no high quote is automatic.
