Re: Port for sale by retailer
Good evening everyone,
Berry Bros. and Rudd sent me an e-mail this afternoon offering
1985 Fonseca, Vintage Port - £321 per 6 bottles in bond
This is my favourite Port of the 1980s at a price I am willing to pay, so I ordered half-a-dozen bottles.
Later,
John

Re: Port for sale by retailer
If you're interested in doing a comparison of the Taylor 2005s, then Majestic are currently knocking out the Vargellas for £30, and the Terra Feita for £27.

Three of each procured to provide multiple opportunities for horizontal comparison, many thanks!

I acquired some of the Vargellas 2005 from Waitrose for a smidge under £26.nac wrote:If you're interested in doing a comparison of the Taylor 2005s, then Majestic are currently knocking out the Vargellas for £30, and the Terra Feita for £27.

@rich_n - Interesting! My Waitrose is still on the 2004 last time I looked...
Re: Port for sale by retailer
Already had the Vargellas, so also procured three of the Terra Feita for the same purpose.winesecretary wrote: ↑21:02 Fri 12 Jun 2020 Three of each procured to provide multiple opportunities for horizontal comparison, many thanks!
Re: Port for sale by retailer
I ordered from Waitrose cellars, so they might be out of sync with the stores.winesecretary wrote:@rich_n - Interesting! My Waitrose is still on the 2004 last time I looked...

Bought a 2015 Sandeman LBV from Waitrose (as per the offer mentioned) - it's a decent port for the price.

Re: Port for sale by retailer
Sorry to all those people who bought the Terra Feita at £27 - I've managed to nab some at £22 with the drink shop. They seem to have a bit of a Port sale atm, quite a large variety of LBVs.
As an aside to this, I'm currently working on a LBV/ SQVP searcher that also scours supermarkets and shops like the drinkshop (unlike regular winesearcher). If and when it works, I'll make sure its distributed for the Port proletariat looking for a good deal for their labours.

Re: Port for sale by retailer
Some quite tempting prices there: the Quinta do Infantado LBV 2013 at £16 and Croft QdR 2002 at £18.38.
Re: Port for sale by retailer
Thanks Zak, that’s a great heads up, I didn’t know that store. I ordered some of that but also some of the LBVs on there, I believe one or two will be unfiltered so might be good for the longer term.akzy wrote:Sorry to all those people who bought the Terra Feita at £27 - I've managed to nab some at £22 with the drink shop.

I’ll definitely be interested in your portseeker app!

Re Sainsbury’s pre-summer clearance:
Also see the thread Made from Port packaging.jdaw1 wrote: ↑19:21 Sat 27 Jun 2020GM06, decanted noon. Sainsbury’s pre-summer clearance†, £23. New cork, tight-fighting, came out whole, felt like good quality. Impressive cork choice by our friends the Symingtons.
Dark dark red, circa 95% opaque. Nose of blackcurrants and spice. Palate starts dry, with a herbaceous green note (holly came to mind — no idea why), then grows showing a leatheriness structure. Sweetness and blackcurrants later. It feels a bit closed, but there’s black fruit waiting. Very long. I’m going to try to give this a few years. Likely, will fail.
† Also buy Symington Sainsbury’s Taste The Difference 2000 for £20 (stocks always low); and Graham Crusted bot. 2013 for £15. Don’t bother visiting south-London Sainsbury’s, which are now depleted of stock. (And not stocked at all by Brixton Water Lane.)

Re: Port for sale by retailer
Symington Sainsbury’s Taste The Difference 2000 & GM 2006 - not available in Holborn or TCR Sainsbury's. The former was, and the latter still is, available in Angel Sainsbury's.
Re: Port for sale by retailer
Sainsbury’s in Weymouth is lagging behind with TTD 1998 vintage.

Re: Port for sale by retailer
Amazon UK is also selling the Taylor LBV at £10 and also the Graham’s Crusted (year unclear) at £15.
Re: Port for sale by retailer
GM06 now £16.80 (or at least it is at my local Sainsbury's).

Buy it all. How do they sell it so cheap? They certainly aren’t buying it that cheap.idj123 wrote:GM06 now £16.80 (or at least it is at my local Sainsbury's).
Re: Port for sale by retailer
Might be a local deal, online is still showing it at £28, but I’ll be keeping an eye out... Cheers for the heads up!
