Hutcheson 1980; Rozès LBV 1994
I’ve bought the Hutcheson 1980 (if it’s excellent I’ll consider dragging one across the pond for the 1980 horizontal), and a Rozès LBV 1994 for the LBV tasting.[url=http://www.theportforum.com/viewtopic.php?p=13827#13827]Here[/url] jdaw1 wrote:Seen on the shelves of Manor House Cellar (61 West 23rd Street, ☏ +1 212 206 7900):
- $80, Hutcheson 1980;
- $67, Hutcheson colheita 1975;
- $31, Rozès LBV 1994.
It was a lucky find on Marktplaats (for the non Dutchies: a public classifieds site) and I thought ┚¬ 50 was not a bad deal. Had to go to Schiedam to pick it up though.RonnieRoots wrote:Rubby, good one on the Vesuvio! I tried to find it desperately around Utrecht before we left, but no luck.
The only shop I have found that sells one, wants ┚¬ 68 for it. Other shops sell Vesuvio, but never the '94.

Excellent! Is that in Oman, or are you visiting somewhere? If you are in Oman, that sounds like the foreseeable special occasions sorted out, now you just need a decent House Port.RonnieRoots wrote:LadyR and I enjoyed our first chance of indulging in the fine are of "port-buying" after months and months of living on a strict budget. So we bought:
- 3x magnum Warre 1977
- 1x 0,75 Warre 1977
- 3x Fonseca 1977
- 4x Graham 1983

Bought in Oman? Not a chance. We bought this over the internet from a UK retailer, who was so kind to deliver it to our storage in the Netherlands.
Still looking for a house port... but we'll have some people bring a couple of bottles of LBV with them when they come back from their family visit in Holland. That should give us some temporary relief.

- but the 6 half bottles of Graham's 1985 I bought two days ago are unlikely to see 2010

I thought it was great when I tried it about a year ago and I would happily buy this at $30 a bottle.SushiNorth wrote:Indeedg-man wrote:smith woodhouse and co.

And having built it up so much, I hope you like it too!
