1 x 1948 Graham's VP
5 x 1955 Graham's VP
3 x 1963 Graham's VP
1 x 1990 Graham's Malvedos VP

Didn't really need the GM90, but it was there so I figured why not?

Not shabby.

Glenn E. · Post by **Glenn E.** » 22:22 Tue 11 Jun 2013

It does cause a problem, though. I must now drink 9 bottles of Port to make room in my cellar for these new bottles. (The GM90 will be consumed without need for storage.)

Oh, the humanity!

If you send the 1948, a 1955 and a 1963 to JDAW and I we will solve part of your storage problem.

Thank you for the very generous offer, but I'm afraid that I'm looking for long term storage.

If there are GST11 available, please let the obvious UK people know by PM. UK availability has, mostly, served to make people annoyed with their regular merchants.

Delivery today

Unfortunately, one box of 6 of the LBV had fallen whilst loading, and all 6 bottles were broken

. So no 12 but only 6 bottles of the 1997 Niepoort LBV for me

6 x Taylor's 1970 VP. At £70 a bottle i thought this was well priced. Levels are top shoulder or in neck but unfortunately most of the labels have slipped off.

That is a good price. Most that I have seen recently have been around £100. Well done!
