Re: Port for sale at auction

Yes I was bidding - It was quite a collection and I have not seen such a gathering for a long time. For information the T45 went for £6400+commission for 15 bottles (not 17). The condition of the bottles was excellent. There was also W45, D45, Croft 45 and Feuerheerd 45.
