The bottle is a moulded style, two seems up opposite sides, stopping half an inch from the mouth, with a third seem running around the base. The base its self is completely smooth, no markings, just the bord...

Re: Offer of Very Old Tawny Port in Bulk
Sorry chaps for reviving an old thread, but what happened with this sale? Was a sale agreed by the family? Are there bottles available? A very interesting read either way π We didn't progress this as it wasn't great & potentially too expensive. Will W may have further info. Suggest contacting h...

Re: It is time!
Guys this is perfect! I love a London trip so i'm always game for that. Miguel, it would be great to meet up in the valley! Just to clarify, you're not Miguel from Casa Cimera by any chance? 
I will certainly look at a northern tasting session for sure if there are enough of us up here!
