Fonseca 77 Cases for Sale (and Cockburns 83)

Post by AndyPetherick »

I have x2 cases of Fonseca 77 for sale and one Cockburns 83. All have been stored in a Private cellar in Salisbury since purchase 35 years or so ago and they are now with me in Somerset (parents have downsized and sold their house).

The Fonseca 77 were part of a Pipe of Port and these are the two remaining cases.

FYI, Cockburn 1983 has a reputation for being corked, as explained here.

Not to me. I exchanged messages with the seller, but after some negotiation he stopped collecting the messages right at the point where I agreed to meet his last-requested price, unfortunately!
(if you send a PM it stays in your outbox until the recipient reads it; I deleted that sent message just recently as it was still unread)

That’s a shame, I particularly like this one myself too. Thanks for letting me know.
