Fonseca 2007 on sale at Garrafeira Nacional. Only 45 euro a bottle.

Very nice price. But they do have insane shipping costs. That's what they told me some months ago for Germany.

12 bottles – 97.21€

24 bottles – 194.42€

36 bottles – 291.63€

I always thought Portugal would be located in Europe.

Those shipping costs are quite high indeed. But still, it amounts to around 8 euro a bottle, and 53 euro for a bottle of Fonseca 2007 is probably much cheaper than anything you can find in either Germany or Holland. I know it's around 80 euro at Ton Overmars.

Slurp.co.uk has a range of Ports from de la Rosa; Romaneira and Infantado (amongst others) and offers £20 of your first order (with the code “newslurper”) which makes prices for a single case quite attractive. I’ve just bought a case of unfiltered 2004 LBV from Infantado for about £8.50 a bottle.

Fonseca 2007 on sale at Garrafeira Nacional. Only 45 euro a bottle.

I was in that shop 3 months ago, but it's a pity about the Euro exchange rate!

On another note, Virgin Wines are doing Croft Quinta da Roeda '97 at £17, and depending upon accumulation of Winebank 'interest' works out at under £13.

Ronald, your are quite right with your total view. But I find those prices to be bawdy and I am not willing to support that. BTW: The shipping of 12 bottles from Germany to Portugal by the German company HERMES would cost 18,90 EUR- insurance included.

Seckford's has recently added 6 bottles of the 1992 Niepoort at 30gbp per (DP). I would gladly take one (I've had it before and thought it was great, but my flat...er...my cellar...is bursting). Anyone have an interest in the remaining bottles? They have also added 6 bottles of the 1991 at the same price.

Lemme know.

[Mark D]

Was told by jdaw that I could post an offering here from time to time. This is a first.

These won't last.

HDH has picked up a collection with a lot of Port in it. The prices are retail-good (which makes them avg for those of us watching the market ).
They'll be posted this evening on the website, but if you are interested in getting in early, contact Maria E. in HDH Sales.
Here's what came in:
Romariz63Col, G70 ($130), G77, W77, F85, SW85, T85, G91, Ch94, D94, GC94, G94, SW94, G(M)95, F97, GC97, G97, SW97, T97, D(SdR)98, Vesuv98, D00, F00, NN00 ($600), T00

There are a bunch of halfs scattered in there too (like 40 hb of F97 @ $35). As the Fi doesn't drink, i am starting to think they may be a wise pick up for casual drinking.

Tesco now stocking a new vintage BOB "Finest" vintage port - 2000 - in half bottles at £9.99. Come the Christmas deals, this may be a good purchase. The only mention of the shipper is "Symington Family Estates".

[Mark D]

Got a few new specials (all 750mls), while they last:

Cockburn's 2003 vintage $74.99 (Regular price is $90)
Dow's 1991 vintage $77.99 (Regular price is $84)
Graham's 2003 vintage $79.99 (Regular price was about $98)

Come visit our store at:

Can only ship stateside, however. We also began to ship with refrigerant gel packs.

Balthazar in NY has taylor 1970 for 520$

Ouch.

Balthazar in NY has taylor 1970 for 520$

Ouch.

That could be per case of 12...

[Glenn E.]

Balthazar in NY has taylor 1970 for 520$

Ouch.

That could be per case of 12...

One could hope.

However, since the going rate for a '70 Taylor in the US is usually around $120-$150 I'm far more inclined to believe that the listed price is for a single bottle.

[jdaw1]

1 × Warre 1975 @ £31.75
12 × Cockburn 1994 @ £35.25
8 × Martinez 1963 @ £70.50
1 × Quinta do Noval 1963 @ £70.74
1 × Cockburn 1955 @ £171.35

JOSÉ MARIA da FONSECA & VAN ZELLAR _____________________________

Vintage 2000 - £47.06 EACH – A Very fine Vintage Port!


KROHN __________________________________________________________________

Colheita 1997 - £15.33 Each. One of the great Vintages of the decade, featuring full-bodied and harmonious wines.

Colheita 1996 - £16.15 Each

Colheita 1995 - £17.24 Each

Vintage 2005 - £17.64 Each

Quinta do Retiro Novo Vintage 2004 - £18.87 EACH – Dark garnet in colour Floral aromas of rose blossoms with a slight hint of almonds. Deep flavour of cherries, with a hint of spice and cinnamon at the end.

Vintage 2003 - £22.70 EACH. Krohn VP 2003 is primary and floral, dark and thick.

Colheita 1990 - £23.36 Each

Colheita 1994 - £29.90 Each. 1994 was a year of classic, monumental ports with fabulous rich fruit character. An outstanding Vintage. Probably one of the best of the 20th Century.

Colheita 1987 - £30.98 Each

Colheita 1983 - £35.75 Each. 1983 is amongst the best Port vintages of the previous century, with outstanding, powerful wines, but unjustly overshadowed by the 1985s and the 1977's before them. The delicate, nutty flavours in this wine make it a perfect dessert wine for springtime, where a richer, heavier Vintage Port is more suitable for cold winter evenings.

Colheita 1982 - £38.06 Each. 1982 was a relatively dry year with a very cold winter and warm summer. Budbreak hit earlier than usual, providing lower yields for a small, but delicious Port. These gems are known to take on the mahogany colour of old Tawnies with age, along with a complex bouquet, nutty palate and silky texture.

Quinta do Retiro Novo Vintage 2000 - £45.55 EACH – The Quinta do Retiro Novo 2000 is immense, dense and powerful with evident tannic structure, spicy red fruit and great power on the palate and finish. Super ripe, forward style for the long term.

Colheita 1978 - £48.81 Each. Good flavour of raisins and nuts with hints of toffee, lighter than expected body.

Colheita 1976 - £55.21 Each. Dark in colour with light aromas and light flavours, hints of brown sugar. Sweet with warmth from the alcohol. Notes of hazelnuts and toffee, with a rounded tawny taste.

Colheita Branco 1964 - £66.82 Very pale orange with a slight reddish hints. Honeysuckle aromas with nuts, apricot and orange blossoms. The palate is thick and fills the mouth with apricot, walnuts, cedar, honey, caramel and a touch of residual sugar showing. Very balanced and complex, with a very long finish. Benefits greatly from a long breathing period.

Colheita 1968 - £90.74 Each. Charming complex wine, with a citrus/orange lift and toffeed low notes, the lovely sweetness is countered by good acidity and oxidative notes. This is an exciting wine because of all the component sensations which provide a very pleasing whole.

Colheita 1967 - £96.59 Each – A deliciously sweet, nutty, wine brimming with freshly cracked walnuts and pecans, the fruit being reminiscent of caramelised figs, and layers of woody, brown spices. All flavours are in total harmony, the sweetness perfectly balanced with good acidity, for a long lasting finish.

Colheita 1966 - £102.85 Each

Colheita 1961 - £134.36. Very dark in colour, intense aroma, with coffee, chocolate and raisins, and an immense structure and powerful finish. Fat and full on the palate, with notes of dried fruit.

Vintage 1970 - £159.49 EACH – A classic Vintage year, with great balance, good structure, and long-lived. One of the absolute finest Vintage Ports of the last 50 years. This is classic port still on a seemingly limitless plateau of maturity and elegant style.

Vintage 1967 - £189.85 EACH

Vintage 1965 - £213.93 EACH

Vintage 1963 - £250.58 EACH

Vintage 1960 - £288.27 EACH

Vintage 1958 - £325.96 EACH

Reserva 1901 - £923.82 EACH


QUEVEDO ________________________________________________________________

Late bottled Vintage 2003 - £9.76 EACH – Produced exclusively from the harvest of 2003; LBV Port is ready for enjoying. It will however continue to age in the bottle for many years. Its present shade of deep ruby will give rise to a lighter ruby, similar to that of pomegranate.

Colheita 1994 - £16 E.12 EACH – RECOMENDED, 1994 was one of the best vintage years of the 20th century. This Colheita was made with grapes of Quevedo's main vineyard, the Quinta Vale d’Agodinho and it is aged in oak barrels for 16 years.

Colheita Port 1992 - £16.12 EACH – This Colheita was made with grapes of Quevedo's main vineyard, the Quinta Vale d’Agodinho and it is aged in oak barrels for 17 years.

Vintage 2005 - £27.15 EACH – Produced exclusively from the harvest of 2005, Vintage Port progesses gradually for 10 to 50 years in the bottle. Vintage Port charms in almost all stages of its life in the bottle. Deep ruby in the first 5 years, after 10 years the tones become garnet and attain a plenitude of aromas and flavours of ripe fruit and the same time as creating a light sediment. As the wine matures, its colour turns to a rich golden brown and its fruit acquires a greater subtlety and complexity.



QUINTA do PORTAL _______________________________________________________

Vintage 2003 - £34.16 EACH – This is a big and balanced full-bodied beauty with a soft approach and sweet ripe plum and chewy blueberry fruit, with lots of acidity.  It’s an easy-to-enjoy wine and all of a sudden waves of palate crushing tannins roll in and take over, followed by an exceptionally long finish.


QUINTA da LEVANDEIRA __________________________________________________
Quinta da Levandeira, "DR" LBV Port 2000 - £14.42 EACH – After grapes are carefully chosen and harvested they are then gently pressed. Fermented in vats at a constant temperature of 22ºC before addition of spirit. Aged both in barrel and bottle.

[DRT]

Tesco are selling half bottles of Croft Unfiltered LBV 2004 at £3.99 (half price) with and extra 5% off if you buy 6 or more.

To give you an idea of how good a QPR deal I think this is, I just bought 51 to add to the 36 I already have in the cellar from a similar deal last year - and I have drunk around 36 of these in the past 12 months
