The source describes established collector interest in the 1998 Opus One, a California wine. Its bottle-specific assessment gives particular weight to bottle format; storage conditions; and documents and packaging.
1998 Opus One valuation considerations
The source presents 1998 Opus One as a scarce California wine with limited market availability. Its valuation reflects bottle condition, vintage and current demand.
A vintage's reputation provides context, but bottle condition, provenance and storage records remain central to the final valuation. The fill level, cork, label and capsule condition, and the availability of the original case and invoice all matter.
Main factors in valuing Opus One
- Bottle format: Magnums and larger formats, together with complete cases, may attract additional market interest.
- Storage conditions: Wine kept in a temperature-controlled cellar with few moves generally has a clearer condition history.
- Documents and packaging: The availability of invoices, the original case and storage records can affect buyer confidence and the valuation.
- Bottle condition: The fill level, capsule condition and label integrity are the starting points for a valuation.
For a complete case or multiple bottles, provide a full list and photographs. Different vintages and bottle conditions can be assessed separately. Once the details are agreed, handover can take place at our shop or by collection across Hong Kong and Macau. WhatsApp / WeChat: 96737259.
