CONDITION

All four bottles are offered as vintage collector’s items.

The two VAT 69 bottles show wear to their labels and substantial deterioration to the paper or tax-strip material around the closures. The Passport bottle retains its distinctive front label and Italian import details; the strip around the neck is visibly aged.

The exact bottling dates have not been independently confirmed. No precise bottling years are claimed.

The bottles have not been opened or tasted. The integrity of the closures and the condition, quality and drinkability of the contents cannot be guaranteed.

The bottles have been properly stored in a cellar and come from a private collection.

The four bottles are offered together as one lot. Please examine all photographs carefully, as they form an integral part of the description and show the exact items offered for sale.
