Oops! Should I have left this one sleeping?

How much did it cost?
Re: 1996 Quinta do Crasto
£15 from Sainsburys. I bought these in a sale at 25% off about 2 years ago. I think they still have them at full price of £20 per bottle.

Annoyingly, Sainsbury’s’ port page doesn’t list what they have.

If there was a shortlist for the title of 'Best undeclared vintage since 1931' - 1996 should be on there.Oops! Should I have left this one sleeping?
