Amusing, considering that they've been trying to sell that 1937 Warre's Reserve Tawny Port for at least 3 months. They had finally started lowering the price a bit - it started at $350, then lowered to $330, $320, and $310 - but now it seems that they've raised it again. All without selling a single bottle. Genius. I'm sure no one has been paying any attention at all and will buy it now that they've raised the price back up again.jdaw1 wrote:Not obviously ‟real steals” in port, alas.Benchmark Wine wrote:We have a HUGE, ECLECTIC new cellar today.

I offered them $1000 for 4 bottles inclusive of buyer's premium, but they declined. They own these particular bottles, so to me asking to add on a buyer's premium is insulting.
It has just arrived, and is clearly labelled ‟Late Bottled Vintage”. Bottled by ‟Hunt, Constantino - Vinhos, Lda”.

Someone isn't paying attention over there. I've seen some foulups in a number of typically competent places, recently.

Sorry, I could have told you that but didn't notice until now. I hope you didn't pay too much, because it is a rather unspectacular (if decent) glass of port.And the Warre 1986 is actually Cavadinha

C47 at $259 ≈ £184 ≈ €205 doesn’t sound too terrible.Benchmark Wine wrote:As you are aware, we purchase private collections. We have found that some people store their wines in professional wine storage lockers, while others have custom built wine cellars in their home. We only purchase private collections that have been kept in temperature controlled storage, but some of these bottles have been laying down in someone's cool, dark, humid cellar on wooden racks for several years. The bottles get dirty, stained, and begin to show their age.
Those bottles are slower to sell than the pristine bottles that were kept in their original wood, but they are still good.... and we should know! When we purchase a collection, we taste the ugliest bottles first to test how sound the collection is. These bottles are all priced with their condition in mind, but we are offering a huge discount beyond that! Give us a call, shoot us an email, we'd love to hear from you!

Messias Quinta do Cachao Port 1975 ~ 3 @ $55 past signs of seepage
I just texted g-man about that Messias actually, who informed me everything from 1975 was Hot and Thin (good in a woman, bad in a port). I happened to simultaneously be on the phone with Benchmark who informed me that two of those are bottom neck and one is into the neck. At $40 each, is it still too terrible to try?jdaw1 wrote:C47 at $259 ≈ £184 ≈ €205 doesn’t sound too terrible.Benchmark Wine wrote: Take 30% off these selections!

Paying more than zero for a 1975 would be less good, of course.

That's right, but it is important to know that Guedes was an independent company until the beginning of the 70's. It was then bought by Real Companhia Velha, who continued to use the brand for a while. The chance is real, therefore that a 1977 Vintage Port of this brand is exactly the same as a Royal Oporto 1977 Vintage Port. And that, IIRC, is pretty dire.JacobH wrote:The Roots apparently tried a bottle of their ’67 LBV!though it’s not something I’ve heard of before!g-man wrote:all this talk about jj buckley
