Please rephrase. My first magnum, if you remember the post I made at the time, broke in delivery...

Aww, if it wasn't so sad, it'd be really funny.

Just read my post from last night and realise I should be in the Hall of Shame that is Apostrophe Crimes.

Not once but twice..? Robertson's?

Ex cellars:

12 x 1998 Warre's Cavadinha
10 x 2003 Warre's unfiltered LBV
2 x Graham's Crusted 2003
(They're cheaper at the source than here on the German market)
------
From a merchant here in Germany:

6 x 2004 Noval unfiltered LBV

All to start or complement a "wine ladder" (a term I learned here on TPF)

Andy, it is very important that you do not accept any applications to be your new best Port buddy

C'mon, you can't do that to us. Tell us how you managed that one, please!

Well, three came up at auction. But one wasn't all that great of condition. So I bid on the others and won. You'll hate me for this part as even by UK standard it's cheap for this old VP. I paid about $1700 for the pair (which includes buyers premium and tax)

Quite sure at least one will be opened in the company of long standing fellow port lovers at some point.

My first Niepoort Garrafeira in my cellar. This one the 1940. I would like to collect all the Garrafeiras made
Missed out the great german Niepoort Garrafeira gettogether earlier this year. But who knows! Maby I Can equlize with a Danish ditto.

You didn't miss it. It was cancelled because there were not enough participants.

[djewesbury]

Not enough participants?? How could this be? Was this a worldofport event?

[AW77]

Yes, it was a World of Port event. Why? Garrafeira is quite expensive, but there are fewer declarations than with "normal" VPs. So the price of the Garrafeira tasting was that of a big tasting, but the line-up only consisted of less than a dozen bottles. So people were somehow put off by this I think.

4 bottles Dow's Crusted bottled 2007.

[AW77]

From my local supermarket: 5 bottles of Niepoort Crusted bottled 2011.

Very nice! These are very difficult to find. No need to be in a rush to drink them.

[AW77]

Yes, I tasted this Crusted at the Essencia this year. I will order 12 bottles more from my local supermarket.
By the way: The retail price here is 19,99 Euro, which is just 3 Euro more than the 09 LBV.
As I still have 6 bottles of the 2007 Niepoort Crusted there is really no need to drink the one from 2011.

I hope I can find this in Berlin in a few weeks' time!

[AW77]

If we start our Mosel tour from Cologne, you could stock up here (if they still have the Crusted on the shelf by then). Or I could buy some bottles now and give them to you in August.
By the way: I could get the sixth bottle yesterday (there were bottles on the shelf once again).
