Niepoort 1987 is about 100 EUR in Germany. :shock: :shock: Ouch! You can still buy it under 50 at Ton Overmars. But I agree that 58 for the 2005 is a good price, I doubt if you'll find it any cheaper somewhere else. I see, inevitable to visit Amsterdam soon. :) :) BTW: I purchased some weeks ago a ...

Niepoort 1987 is about 100 EUR in Germany. 1992 I bought in 1996 for 20 EUR is now at more than 60 EUR. I did not taste the 2005 so far. But according to several TNs there can be no doubt for me, that 58 EUR is not a bad price.

Cheers

I had this one multiple. I would agree: a comfortable easy drinker. In Germany one can get this for 17 EUR/0,5l. That would be 25,50 EUR/0,75. Too much imo in comparision to top notch 10 years old Tawnies.

Cheers

58 EUR is- according to my experience- the best price for a Niepoort VP in whole continental Europe. Compared to today prices for a top notch VP it seems to be worthy. Fonseca and Taylor come out in Germany for about 75 EUR. You GBs can be lucky having a long tradition in buying port and having the ...

In Austria Niepoort VP 2005 is out- for 58 EUR incl. taxes. Any thoughts?

Tom, according to a german website, Quinta da Eira Velha was also produced in 1992. Does anyone know anything about da Eira Velha 1992? Did not find anything about 2003 excepting the danish website you mentioned. Interesting prices for the Martinez 1985 and 1987 imo. Anyone planing a trip to Kopenha...

Stevie,
this sounds awful. I bought 6 regular bottles in 1999, 2 leakers among them. Contet was ok. In 2003 I purchased 4 mags- no leakers so far.

Is there a leakers-/VA-problem amongst the mags too?

I would like to purchase 2 or 3 additional mags, but I doubt if that would be a good choice.

Alan, the two bottles are destined for the cellar. But I had the same idea as you obviously had. Curious: In the same year Martinez VP 1994 and SQVP Quinta da Eira Velha 1994- all the more as Martinez VP contains the grapes of Quinta La Eira Velha. I do have the information, that James Suckling rate...

Tom, a good reason to visit UK for the first time :) . Or, instead I would have to wait until my last day on earth. I am shure I would find those UK-prices in heaven too . :lol: In my area there are some british NATO troups. I think I will have to ask, if there are some Port geeks, purchasing in the...

The only shop in my area (180 km) I know offering en primeur is in Amsterdam/The Netherlands. Look here http://www.tonovermars.nl/Vintage_Port_2005/vintage_port_2005.html The prices in general are rather cheap. A price of 25 GBP for Vesuvio 1994 would be to light some candles in a church. The best p...

Introduction Michael

Hello all,

nice to see all you friendly and able guys here!

My interest in port startet about 11 years ago. The last 2 years, it's a kind of sickness. According to my wife, person in support is near. I hope (s)he will love Port too.

Cheers
Michael
