Re: Port for sale by retailer
Those both looked like very interesting offers. Can anyone remind me the history of Palmer? Is it one the van Zellers’ Barão de Vilar brands?
Re: Port for sale by retailer
Yes, IIRC from our visit there in 2018 or 2019, Palmer and Maynards are meant to be their higher-end brands.

Whilst I don't wish to cause mass hysteria, this may.

I'm going to guess this is a store-specific offer but that won't stop me checking my local store just to be sure!akzy wrote:Whilst I don't wish to cause mass hysteria, this may.

Hysteria! Goose chase! Count me in… there hasn’t been a good wild poultry shoot for a while. But, sad to say that the ‘flagship’ of Asda stores that Weymouth is blessed with, had Bonfim 08 but it was at £28 rather than the ‘hot deal’. At least my curiosity was satisfied if not my cellar.

Waitrose seem to think that vintage dates are just a nuisance. Consequently, I never buy from them online.Waitrose currently doing some offers which include Sandeman LBV (image is 2015) at £13.79 and Warre LBV (unfiltered, but unspecified vintage) at £19.11.
I'm intrigued to know what the next LBV offering from Warre will be - it's about a year now since the '08 first appeard in the US, some time before it was offered in the UK. Was there no '05 - or did they skip it to give it more time to mature? I can understand them passing '06 as the vintage was difficult, although the Dow '06 LBV is a decent wine.

Taylors LBV (2015/16) for £7.22 on amazon. Cracking value.

Unfortunately amazon runs off of bot pricing. Deal expired.

Re: Port for sale by retailer
Aldi are selling off the Fletcher’s 2016 LBV in tube packaging that they were selling at £9.99, for £7.99, to clear the shelves. I think it was good value at the original price and even better with the 20% reduction.
Re: Port for sale by retailer
Appears to be £8.99 online. Was this price in-store?

I can't quite believe that the reserve hasn't been met yet. But I guess that might be due to the mislabeling of what I can only assume is actually 1962 Noval.hadge wrote:what a super bargin! please do all bid at once.
Re: Port for sale by retailer
If they can guarantee that none of these are corked, that might actually be a good price.

I still think it can't be as bad as the Croft '82.

At 39, the risk of cork taint is fading now, but VA ages disgracefully..If they can guarantee that none of these are corked, that might actually be a good price
Hmm.. Cr82 is no superstar, but not a disaster area either - one well known writer has taken against this wine - but not entirely fairly though (IMO)..I still think it can't be as bad as the Croft '82
