Port for sale by retailer

[RAYC]

Quite a lot of new additions on BBR. Not cheap but not expensive either. Croft 1960 and Noval 1960 for £165.

They have had some fantastic stuff recently, and at less of a premium than I'd usually associate with them.

As I was mulling over some BBR-bottled & never-left-BBR-cellars Taylor 66 bottles on their site this morning (which were at the heftier end of the scale in terms of premium), a case-worth or so suddenly disappeared. I hope purchased by someone on this forum! I did snaggle the last couple despite promises to myself to stop purchasing...

Rebello Valente 1963 listed on there for £150 now too.

There's been a discussion about this elsewhere, so thought this might be interesting...

Waitrose have discounted the Warre's Bottle Aged LBV to £22.99 until 12/11/24. Website suggests it's the 2009.

Nickolls & Perks have a "limited time offer" of Noval 2018. 6 bottles for £240 - duty paid & delivered. No idea how much they've got, but £40 a bottle all in seems like a good thing.

That's a good deal, I'd get in on that if I could.

Vintage Wine and Port are running a Black Friday sale. Mostly 10%-15% discounts on a few bottles.

This 1973 Devesa White caught my eye at £50 for a 50cl that is 50yo (family bottling, so not a formal colheita). Noting the favourable reviews on this forum, I have bought several.

We've just had an offer from Quinta de Vale da Figueira's and their UK agent for us to be able to buy unbroken (6-bottle) cases of Quinta de Vale da Figueira's 10 YO tawny (the 2022 bottling).

These are priced at £150 per 6-pack, which includes duty, VAT and delivery to the UK agent's offices in Victoria (from where we have to collect the bottles). Of course, we're free to split 6-packs once we've collected them.

My opinion is that this is one of the best - if not the best - 10 YO tawny available. It's so good, that it would give some 40 YO blends a run for their money. There are some tasting notes from me and Jacob on the Tasting Note database.

I already have orders for 2 6-packs. Anyone else interested?

Interestingly enough i just had one of their 10yo today at lunch. One person that had never had it before said "This is an interesting colour for a 10yo", followed by a "OK, this is an interesting profile for a 10yo". Great wines.

I’ll take a couple of 6 packs Alex - many thanks.

[M.Charlton]

Please could I have four packs [of six bottles], Alex - thanks for posting the offer.

But they only come in six packs…

I’ll take one pack please.

By WhatsApp (you know who you are you irritating people - I was hoping to keep all the orders in one place so I don’t risk losing any), I have had requests for a further 5 boxes. One person has asked if there would be interest in splitting a six-pack since they would, ideally, like to take only 3 bottles.

The three-bottle lightweight can have three from one of my sixes Alex.

My branch of Waitrose has its “buy 6 bottles and get 25% off” offer going at the moment.
