I love this pic I took of a very old wine bottle in my wine cellar.
Any flaws?
By the way, I love the "feeling" of a slightly underexposed picture.

I'd like to see more detail on the top of the label. Along those same lines, seems like it would've helped to stop down the aperture a bit to get more depth of field so you can see the shoulder of the bottle .

I think that wine is undrinkable by now...but it does look good in the wine cellar.

But I think your second shot shows more of the dustiness because you got the shoulder. And, as I suspected, shooting the shoulder added a little reflected light which added some interest to the pic for me. Hope this wasn't an expensive bottle.
