Story:

This bottle belongs to my 90 yr old stepdad who is looking for a more accurate valuation of the bottle than I’ve been able to find. The bottle was purchased by him from a friend 35 years ago. Prior to that his friend had it for 15 and was gifted the bottle from another person. Unknown how long it was owned by the previous person. It has been stored in a wine rack in a cool finished basement for the last 35 years. The bottle weight I listed of 2 lbs is actually 2lb 11.6 oz using a scale. There is no marking on the bottle indicating the total volume but I believe 75cl is the correct amount based off a standard size wine bottle used for comparison.
