Also, my local Tesco had 750ml bottles of Croft LBV 04 for sale at £6.99. Not sure if this is nationwide.
Re: Latest buy
Half a dozen Quinta de la Rosa 2003 LBV bottled 2007 37.5cl (handy snack size!) £8.95 very morish in a brief taste before buying.
There is no such thing as a large glass of Port, any glass of Port can be made larger.

Excellent deal..!3 x 1970 Grahams @ £30 a piece
The last few auctions of the year have shown a slight softening of interest in mature port. Whether this is just a blip or not remains to be seen.
Prices for young 'investment grade' claret remain ridiculous though.

12 x Quinta da Romaneira 40 Year Old Tawny Port
I've only had it once, but that once was enough to convince me I needed to find some way to buy a case for myself. Yum!
