Very Good. (7.9). Bottle is one clearly re-used by Irvine around 1900, it has some scratches and scuffs but generally nice. The label has a bit of foxing and stain but also quite good with no major problems. Nice item from Australia's early wine industry. This is the same item that we sold way back in Auction 24. Estimate: $50-75
