Re: Wanted Thread
I was given a bottle of QN95 by a friend for my 40th birthday in 2005. I opened it on the morning that I left home to go to the Douro for the 2010 harvest and tasted it with some others here on the tram from OPO to Oporto. Unfortunately, it was corkedJacobH wrote:I didn’t know that existed! The list is now updated!Alex M wrote:I'm also interested in Quinta do Noval 1995 VP.

If the price is right, I volunteer for that...not seen any in a while - used to buy any I could find. Last saw 10 halves in California at about $20 a piece and my brother bought the lot. Apparently they were lovely.

Re: Wanted Thread
Sure; it's still in my wish list, along with more other things than I can afford I've not seen any at auction aside from one case of 'probably O70' which I bid at with Axel last year, but which went for too much money. Am still watching out for it.Zelandakh wrote:Hi Phil,PhilW wrote:Currently looking to buy some Offley 70 - would happily share a case with someone.

Re: Wanted Thread
Having been away from the board for a few months, thought it best to update on my situation. From my list I have acquired at Taylors QdV 68 and 82. I am still on the hunt for the rest as well at the Qunita do Noval 1995. I hope many of you have had happy hunting for the ports you were looking for.

Re: Wanted Thread
My current updated wish list:
- F70, G77, W70, Kopke Colheita 82/74 halves
I'm mostly looking for the first three in small (or shared) quantity at auctions.
if anyone sees pre-1990 Kopke colheita available in halves anywhere in UK please let me know; similarly if you get some in a mixed auction lot and don't want it, please drop me a note!

Re: Wanted Thread
Good luck with that! These day, to get new release Barca Velha you have to be a member of the Barca Velha Club. When a vintage is released, Club members are offered the chance to buy a very small allocation (I think it was 3 bottles for the 2004 vintage released this year). There is a long (was it 15 years?) waiting list to become a club member.g-man wrote:hunting for barca vehla!
But then you don't say that you're in a rush to buy some - perhaps 15 years time would be OK...

And interested generally in 82 colheitas. Have you had the Krohn?

Re: Wanted Thread
I'm also looking for F70 but provenance is always a little difficult to establish (and I'm also little credulous!). As for Kopke, I bought a single h/b of 20yr White in Porto last year which I drank over Christmas and I must say I was quite impressed and now wish I'd also bought similar of the 30yr and 40yr that were also on sale. And yes, the Krohn 82 is good but the 78 is better imo and I'm looking to visting my family in a fortnight when I can avail myself of more from a particular retailer!

Re: Wanted Thread
Gerwin, my local Gall & Gall has Dow 2007 for €60. On their "crazy wine days" you even get 50% reduction on the 2nd bottle.
I would not be suprised if they have been standing there for over 3 years but guess that with such a young port and our cool climate this should not be be major issue.
Maybe worthwhile to visit some Gall & Gall's in your area.
