Can you tell me how much a bottle of 1962 Saint Julien Cruse Red Bordeaux Wine is worth?

Question

The bottle label reads:
Cruse & Fils Freres, 1962, Saint Julien Cruse, Appellation Saint-Julien Controlee, Red Bordeaux Wine, The Jos. Garneau Co., New York, N.Y.
It also says across the label in red letters (bottom left to upper right) MIS EN BOUTEILLES DANS NOS CHAIS.
The cap has the imprint G-463 on the side and an emblem saying VIN OF BORDEAUX.
The bottle has a wire netting over it, top to bottom, with a leaded lock on the bottom.
The bottle also says SOLE DISTRIBUTORS FOR THE UNITED STATES and PRODUCT OF FRANCE, 11.5% ALCOHOL, 1 PINT, 9 FLUID OUNCES.
The very top of the label reads:
CRUSE & FILS FRERES, NEGOCIANTS A BORDEAUX (GIRONDE)

Answer 2

Cruse and Freres wines are not that great of a vineyard, nor were there vintages particularly stunning. It would depend on how it has been stored for the last 36 years. If properly, on its side, in the dark in a cool cellar, perhaps $90 to $110 U.S., only if you find a collector. If improperly stored, in other words if you picked up from anywhere but the cool celllar conditions I listed above, probably very little. It would be worth more for a neato drink for you.
