Port for sale by retailer
Re: Port for sale by retailer
Waitrose/Waitrose Cellar have their 25% off six promo running from today for a week. It includes most of the Ports and fortifieds they offer.
Re: Port for sale by retailer
Comes out at about the same price as Waitrose with the offer - Tesco currently have Graham 10YO at a "clubcard price" of £15.
Re: Port for sale by retailer - Fonseca 1985
Just had an offer from Bordeaux Index. They have 30 6bt OWCs of ex-Oporto (their description) Fonseca 1985 for £330 IB (or £418 inc VAT & duty).
If anyone wants the full detail ask & I'll forward the email.

I received that offer as well. My only problem is that I'm not willing to spend £1,250 on a bottle that I have not tasted, otherwise I might be very interested in this one.
I also recently received an offer from F+R for 1847 and 1917 Colheitas from Quinta das Carvalhas, but they were even more expensive than the RCV. (£1,850 and £1,350 respectively, as I recall.) Lots of really cool, really old stuff coming out these days... it's just too expensive for me to buy blind.

The Aldi Christmas catalogue is out and wines on sale from 8th November but have already started dribbling into stores. The big news is no 40YO tawny from Fletcher’s this year, so unless it appears as a special, VWP with its Maynards 40YO is the place to go this Christmas for a value 40YO. On the list is more of the Fletcher’s 2016 LBV @ £9.99, a Fletcher’s 10YO tawny (750ml) that was absent last year @ £10.99, the Fletcher’s fine Ruby @ £6.49 that is available year round and a 20cl Fletcher’s Ruby reserve at £4.99. No 450cl jeroboams listed this year either. So a bit disappointing that there is nothing really of note, and even the LBV hasn’t moved on to the 2017 yet. The 10YO Maynards in previous years has been very good so I am hoping that the Fletcher’s will be good too and will grab some of those. They may add some in store specials, but unlikely as it is normally in the catalogue to drive you into store, only to find out the good stuff has sold out in the first day or so!

Correction: my mistake, there is a Fletcher’s 40YO in a traditional 750ml bottle that is an online exclusive.Doggett wrote: ↑13:13 Fri 05 Nov 2021 The Aldi Christmas catalogue is out and wines on sale from 8th November but have already started dribbling into stores.

I'm already asking people I know in the UK to buy some! Later on I'll worry about the question of how to get them here.Andy Velebil wrote: ↑18:58 Fri 05 Nov 2021Buy all you canMigSU wrote:Christ, a 40 year old for 35 pounds....

Re: Port for sale by retailer
No-one tell Mrs B that she could subscribe to Graham 20YO and have it arrive on the doorstep with the milk every morning! That would cost me a fortune!!akzy wrote: ↑17:18 Mon 08 Nov 2021 Currently get Graham's 20YO for £23.45 on Amazon (if you use subscribe and save, then cancel afterwards). https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B004EAL5B0

TWS has Warre 2009 Colheita (Bot. 2019) at £17/bottle which seems remarkable value.

- Dow's 2003: €56,10
- Graham's 2003: €56,10
- Pintas 2003: €56,10
- Taylor's 2007: €61,50

Re: Port for sale by retailer
That's a good price.
Re: Port for sale by retailer
Amazon have Dow Quinta Do Bomfim for sale at £20 a bottle, which reduces to £18 if you create a repeat order (which according to their site can be cancelled at any time).
They have it listed as 09/10 which isn't useful but some digging online suggests both of those years are decent quality SQVPs, so I don't mind which I get - I'll try to remember to report back on that front. There aren't any tasting notes on the forum for either yet, as far as I could find.

Ocado were offering the 1994 Graham Single Harvest this morning for the non-insane price of £75. Let's see if, tomorrow, it actually gets delivered...
To confirm: it was delivered.

Sandeman 20 y/o = £30.39 per bottle when ordered from Amazon via a “subscribe and save”, which seems like a good deal. The subscription can be cancelled upon receipt of the first order.

Re: Port for sale by retailer
Garrafeira Nacional has 20% on all Ports. The site isn't usually known for its bargains, but I think there's some good value to be had on some products. The Niepoort LBV 2017 for €12,72 and the Niepoort Crusted for €14,40 are, in my opinion, pretty decent buys. The Graham's Malvedos 2009 for €24,76 might be worth a buy as well.
