Re: 1980 Horizontal, 20 October 2021, B&F

Sorry for the late response.

If ok and not mucking everything up I would love to come but will have to leave before dinner. So about 7.30/8
Very happy with half pours. Will clearly pay my way on the Port!

Re: Latest buy

Just to be clear I am a big fan of Raeburn Fine Wines, I have been a customer for many years. I knew this Port did not have the best of reputations but I wanted to try it. Note as stated I only bought a half bottle for a reason.

Re: 2019 Declarations

For example, I remember seeing some adverts for a “Primum Familiae Vini” case which sounded like a fun thing, but when it was released they clearly went big, putting all of the first and ultra-premium labels in a box and selling them for £81K: To be fair, that sold for £81K because of the 12 privat...

Re: 2019 Declarations

I read the press release and as others have said it looks to be 2019, 2009 and 1999 from these two houses in seperate boxes. Let’s all take a step back .

Re: Niepoort Vintage Port 2017 wins ‘Best Port Wine of the World’

Does anyone know when it is likely to be released.
In my view I think the 2011 in particular looks good value

Re: Latest buy

The Graham 1990 is absolutely superb, I have had a couple of bottles. Lucky you to get a large format bottle!
Congratulations!
