Sell 1987 Chateau Latour Wine

I have a 1987 Chateau Latour. What's the first step to authenticate it?

Without moving the bottle, please take clear photos of the front label, back label, fill level, capsule, and bottle punt. When evaluating a 1987 Chateau Latour, the version, quantity, and signs of preservation are more useful than just the wine name itself.

What should I pay special attention to regarding the 1987 vintage of Chateau Latour?

The 1987 vintage will first be compared with Latour vintages from similar years, but a judgment won't be made based solely on the vintage. The physical bottle still needs to be assessed based on the vintage, fill level, capsule, label integrity, and provenance. If you have the original case, invoice, or Buy records, please provide them as well.

When assessing the bottle condition of a 1987 Chateau Latour, which details are most likely to influence the outcome?

For a 1987 Chateau Latour, we will first look at the vintage, fill level, capsule, label integrity, and provenance. If there are any damages, seepage, label stains, or a low fill level, please photograph them directly. This will make subsequent communication clearer.

If I only have one bottle of 1987 Chateau Latour, do I still need to compile provenance information?

Even for a single bottle, we can still start the assessment. If your 1987 Chateau Latour has an original box, original case, or Buy records, please include them with the photos. If there's no information, we can still begin by evaluating the physical condition of the bottle.
