2007 Graham VP - $75
2007 Vesuvio VP - $64
1995 Smith Woodhouse LBV - $24
2000 Kopke LBV - $18

All from a local B&M that I like to support because they hold reasonably regular tastings.

Not so much a buy as a gift. Brother, who attended the Deeper Underground 1966 Horizontal, asked me to look at his few bottles of port in my father’s cellar. I requested to swap one of his two bottles of Noval 1978, and his Churchill Agua Alta 1983, for use in tastings, and then praised his lone bottle of Fonseca 1966. He gave all three to me: as he put it, he’ll attend another tasting and, rather than his having to acquire some hard-to-find bottle, he has some credit. Indeed he does.

A case of Dow 1977! I've been after a case of this for some time and finally managed to pick one up for a reasonable price.

That's a very good price for the Fonseca 70! So, how was it?

I was very impressed with the price - and it was in perfect condition. I have to say though although it was really good I still prefer the 70 Warres over it, I just really like the sweetness that the Warres has - hubby had the same opinion.

Also purchased last week (been naughty) 6 x bottles of Vesuvio 1992, 2 x Warres 1994, 2 x Vesuvio 1997, 3 x Niepoort 2000.

I shall stop buying port, I shall stop buying port, I shall stop buying port :oops:

Arrgh!!! I dearly want a 6-pack of that Port, but it cannot be found in the US. And you got it for 35 Euros??? That's a steal of a price for one of the best Ports of the vintage!

Glen, you simply have to come across that little water, visit Germany, have some Port with me and take an owc/6 from my cellar at the price I paid- very nice wooden cases though.

I agree on your estimation. One of the best VP from 2007 I tasted so far. For nearly a song. One to stock up.
