Hi Yev!
Was tempted to bid on some bottles myself.
As for your question it is always hard to tell the origins as long as you haven't seen the cellar yourself, but Chrsties had and so my suggestion is to forward any related questions to Christies themselves...I do know that Madeira head director Mr. Vos is a regular reader here, so I wouldn't be surprised if he made contact to you.
Best

stencilled label ≠ stencilled bottle.

Ah, I didn't realize there was a difference. Thanks for pointing that out, Andreas; although I'm still not sure what 'stenciled bottle' mean.

Kopke Colheita Port bottles, for example. White printing right onto the bottle.
I have the opposite problem, I can't quite figure out what is meant by a "stenciled label".

I took a flyer at that auction as well. Assuming the head of the JVM would have some decent stuff in his cellar. I believe the organization started in the 50's but the wine is probably much older.

Funny, that I had two individual inquire for my guidance on that same bottle.
