Half bottles of Croft 2004 unfiltered LBV
There is no such thing as a large glass of Port, any glass of Port can be made larger.

That’s not too rubbish. Not by a very long margin indeed.

The 31's will be heading off to auction as they were a lucky purchase, and after all the Grahams I could do with the money.

Well, I thought this was going to be a catalogue typo or a colheita; and despite assurances that it appeared to be the genuine article, was ready to take issue with the auction house concerned..

But I was wrong, and I am now the proud owner of a pristine Butler Nephew vintage port...

..from 1932..!

Rare, in every respect, I think..

Oops forgot a 1977 Fonseca which I didn't think was priced too bad a £100/bottle delivered?
