Nice Haul!! :NotWorthy:
Thanks John!
I was glad to get my hands on these great botles. They are all in pristine shape (formerly owned by a wine enthousiast with winecellar which makes for the excellent storage!), and got them at quite a fair price (just under €55 a bottle, which in my part of the world is excellent).

I'd call those pretty good in my part of the world as well, and some of my favorites too!

I just added an old note, which isn't all that detailed. But we had one of these at the first :ftlop: gala in early 2009 and I just loved the aromas.

I had the Niepoort vintage 1960 last Christmas. A very pleasent experience...
My friend and I had a second bottle, But it was totally vaporised. Not a single drop of juice was in the bottle.... :(

But Then again Luckily, we had the first bottle [cheers.gif]

One bottle of over 40 years Taylor bottled in 1980.

Looking gooood.

I dont know with You Guys, But in my terms, Niepoort is the Best, But old Tawnys from Taylor are not so bad either [friends.gif]

PS.
And one bottle of Wiese and Krohn with the old IVP selo. The third time I have had this bottle. And amazing every time.
