1920 at 100

Apologies if I missed it but does anyone fancy a small ( Maximum of 6 ) horizontal of 1920 @100.

Re: Port for sale by retailer

The Bioma 2011 is superb! I had one a couple of weeks ago. The 2011 vintage really was superb. I went a bit mad at release and I don’t regret having this in Magnums!
