Port for sale at auction
Re: Port for sale at auction
Interesting how Strakers charge a flat rate Buyer's Premium of £8.40 (inc VAT) per lot-good for cases but less so for small lots (and there are quite a few individually lotted bottles of Port). As Tom says, not much of interest-which is a pity as I'm driving down the M4 the following Friday and so would be able to pop in and collect if successful. I assume interest in the Niepoort '75 is more for rarity value as the '75s haven't got much else to recommend them have they?

I'm thinking the '75 vintage deserves just one horizontal - in it's 40th year; but I only have ten at present, so need a few more..

I think it should have been in its fifteenth year, 1990. But I’m notoriously sceptical of the ’75s.uncle tom wrote:I'm thinking the '75 vintage deserves just one horizontal - in it's 40th year
Re: Port for sale at auction
If this is to be done the wines should be purchased now. 1975 is currently priced reasonably for what it is. Two years from now the price will be double and the wine will be slightly worse than it is now.jdaw1 wrote:I think it should have been in its fifteenth year, 1990.

I vote yes. Tom should start a new planning thread so that people can declare what they have.

Unless it's a coincidence (which it's not) then that Niepoort '75 has popped up on bid for wine. Talking of bfw I noticed that the three bottles of G70 didn't last long a someone from here perchance?! Anyone having an interest in the bonhams sale next week? I see that the buyer's premium has been increased.

Re: Port for sale at auction
Also noticed this. Aren't we an eagle eyed bunch. I'll bid £1.50 in 5 days.

Re: Port for sale at auction
Sadly I was trumped on the Ni75 at Strakers, so it's reported re-appearance at BFW (which I can't be bothered with..) - is no surprise. Derisory bids would be appropriate..!
However, I'm quietly confident that I can secure an ex cellars bottle if I push something amusing from my hoard in Dirk's direction..
I will take Derek's advice shortly, so we can launch a '75 horizontal without paying top dollar for stock.

Re: Port for sale at auction
Off topic slightly but I can't be bothered with bid for wine either, can't think it's a good way to get wine. Not sure why really.

Re: Port for sale at auction
Things I've bought on BFW: a bottle of G77, smashed in transit (packed in a little bit of bubble wrap and a tight cardboard tube); some Ni97s that were not described correctly (i.e., leakers with brown sticky stuff all over the capsule).
Great isn't it.

Re: Port for sale at auction
I have bought too much stuff over the internet which has proved subtly but profoundly different on inspection to send them my money. Port by post, Tchah.
Re: Port for sale at auction
I have had some success on BFW, particularly with the chap selling the Ni75.
Please leave alone and I will bid for the team.

Re: Port for sale at auction
I note that the price paid at Strakers for the N75 and Beresford 80 was £68.40 (inc BP) and so if DRT is able to take a chunk out of this that would be mildly satisfying!

Re: Port for sale at auction
We seem to be into auction season as there are a number upcoming with one or two interesting lots (to my untrained eye). Anyone planning to take an interest-I don't wish to stand on any forumite's toes? I'm intending attending the Drewatts auction in a couple of weeks. I wonder how different experience it will be to Bonhams last month, when I turned up half an hour before the Port lots and there were only two 'punters' in the room and one of those disappeared before the Port lots! Was also slighly amusing when the auctioneer seeing what he felt was a derisory bid for two dozen Vargellas opined 'that doesn't seem like much for 24 bottles' which prompted the one other chap in the room to put up his hand and secure the lot!
