Importance of Provenance

Post by Andreas Platt »

So, more and more bottles showing up, where not all arising questionmarks lead to answers.

This again and still leads to the question how important provenance and past storage are...for me, these two factory are basically no-brainers, but I wonder how good of a deal it must seem to leave this out of vision.

Here is a bottle that is most "interesting", I am not saying this is fake (I don't want to get sued), but will for sure not say it is genuine - make yourself a picture.

For sure it isn't from my cellar, but I think this topic is nowadays one that has to be considered more and more - given recent price developments.

Cheers

Looks completely false. I'd like to look at the bottle closely but the stenciling is all wrong and the capsule incorrect.
