Quinta Do Noval 1994
After some advice please. I have half a dozen bottles of Quinta Do Noval 1994 which I bought abut 15 years ago when working in the wine trade. I've been out of the game a while now and am thinking of selling them. What's the best way to go about it? Any reputable companies to go through? I know it's a decent vintage but wanted to get a view on value? Or should I just enjoy them! Thanks.
Re: Quinta Do Noval 1994
A typical sale price for wine is half its retail cost, which for Noval 1994 is about £85 a bottle. So a local wine merchant might pay you ≈£43 a bottle; or you might receive (after commission) about that by selling at auction. If you are then going to spend this money on good wine, for which you pay retail, it doesn’t look like a good deal. So if you still like port, and like very very good port, drink it.
Or, even better, wait, then wait some more, and then drink it.
Is it cellared well? How stored? And where are you located? UK, USA, other?

By a considerable margin, that is the best advice you will receive on this subject.jdaw1 wrote:wait, then wait some more, and then drink it.

I'm in the UK and the wine has been correctly stored.
