Château Margaux 2005 and 2016 anonymous list — loose bottles, OWC and transport checks

Making Room for Newborn Twins

On the previous Tuesday afternoon, Mr. Chan, a wine enthusiast living in eastern Hong Kong Island, contacted the team through WhatsApp.

Seller and Reason

Seller: Mr. Chan, 42
Occupation: IT director at a well-known Hong Kong technology company
Reason: Mr. Chan’s family had recently welcomed twins. To create a nursery and more storage and activity space, he reduced the temperature-controlled wine cabinet occupying a guest-room wall. Expecting less time for long decanting and careful drinking over the next few years, he chose to release part of the cellar.

Photographs and Physical Review

The source says Mr. Chan had used a cabinet with controlled temperature and humidity. That statement and the photographs required physical and provenance checks.

His first photograph showed a group of Château Margaux 2005 bottles resting in protective packing. The source records intact labels, no visible mould, tight capsules and high fills. It describes 2005 as a leading Bordeaux vintage and the bottles as sought after; the photograph does not establish authenticity, storage history or internal condition.

A second photograph showed a full original wooden case of Château Margaux 2016 on its wooden rack. The source describes the capsules and presentation as strong and calls 2016 highly rated. The OWC may support provenance and presentation but does not prove authenticity, internal condition or value.

Bottle Information

The source lists the collection as follows:

Wine	Vintage	Region / Classification	Source Condition Description	Source Review Note
Château Margaux Château Margaux	2005	Margaux, Bordeaux, France / First Growth	Loose bottles; the source records intact labels, high fills and intact capsules.	The source calls 2005 a perfect-score vintage entering its drinking window with strong demand. It supplies no rating citation or transaction series.
Château Margaux Château Margaux	2016	Margaux, Bordeaux, France / First Growth	Original wooden case; the source describes the presentation as new.	The source calls 2016 a leading vintage and says the OWC supports liquidity. No matched case-versus-loose-bottle evidence is supplied.

Handover

After reviewing the photographs and bottle details, the parties arranged a visit to Mr. Chan’s home the following evening. The source says a provisional quote was supplied within 30 minutes before the visit; this historical case timing is not a current promise, and no amount or universal response time is disclosed.

At the residence, the source records examination of visible clarity, cork presentation, labels and identity features under a strong light. After agreement, payment was made by bank transfer. The source says the on-site check took under 20 minutes; this historical case duration is not a service benchmark, and the checks do not by themselves establish authenticity or internal wine quality.

The source quotes Mr. Chan as saying that the process was more transparent and efficient than expected and that the space could now store nappies and other supplies for the twins. This is one seller’s attributed opinion.

Frequently Asked Questions

The following answers describe a cautious review process:

Q1: What factors may affect a quote?

Consider producer and wine, vintage, format, label, fill, capsule, seepage, provenance, storage evidence, OWC, current demand, dated comparables and fees. No “fairest” or most competitive price follows automatically from those factors.

Q2: Can a few loose bottles be considered?

Possibly. A single bottle, full case or larger cellar may be reviewed if the exact wine falls within current scope. Acceptance and any quote depend on identity, condition, provenance, demand and inspection.

Q3: How should payment and handover security be handled?

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