Re: The second 100k EUR Port
Great video, and I’m really pleased for Dirk with the result of the auction.
But that’s going to make it much more expensive to buy the Niepoort VV now - if I can only find a bottle!

The old VV has been on my bucket list for a long time; I hope to try it one day - though that might just have become somewhat less likely!

The datasheet for the new VV states that this also contains the 1863 as its base wine, but this time a garrafeira which had been in barrel until 1972 and then bottled in demijohn until being decanted and used in the 999 bottles of 170th anniversary VV released in December 2012.
