Petrus — storage and bottle-condition checks

After the Final Course: The Decorative Story of an Empty Pétrus Bottle | Dibao Wine

When the last drop of Pétrus reaches the glass, the dinner may seem complete. Aromas described as blackcurrant, truffle and damp earth may remain in memory. But the empty bottle can still record the occasion. At Dibao Wine, we treat it as a prelude to another kind of appreciation. The bottle may become a clearly identified keepsake or decorative object, but it must not be confused with sealed wine or assigned an assured value.

Château Margaux — storage and bottle-condition checks

Beyond the Perfect Score: Château Margaux in Hong Kong's Resale Market

When considering a sale of Château Margaux, the first question may be whether it is a perfect-score vintage.

Supply, preferences among Asian drinkers, drinking windows, auction trends, provenance and bottle condition all shape demand. The guide therefore treats Margaux scores as one reference point rather than a promise that any vintage is an investment favourite.
