Title Cognac Croizet – Napoléon Barrel-Shaped Decanter – 70 cl – Purchased in August 1977 – With Original Box – Unopened Description Rare vintage Cognac Croizet “Napoléon” in decorative barrel-shaped decanter, purchased in August 1977 and kept by the same family since then. The bottle appears full and unopened, with original seal intact. This is not a modern release – it’s an early edition from the late 1970s, which makes it especially attractive to collectors. The original presentation box is included, which increases the collectible value. The bottle has been stored in a dark and stable environment since purchase (cellar storage). The bottle was purchased new in August 1977 and has been kept in the same family collection ever since. There is a code on the tax/import label: “76-C-6”. This likely refers to an internal production or batch code – it may possibly indicate a 1976 bottling, but this cannot be officially confirmed. In any case, it is clearly an authentic 1970s Croizet Napoléon decanter, with original import seal from the Taiwan Tobacco & Wine Monopoly Bureau (pre-2002 era), confirming its age and provenance.
