What Port(s) have you purchased this week?

I picked up 1 bottle of 1976 Warre's Colheita and 3 bottles (375ml) of 1994 Graham's. I also won the bid for the 1935 Niepoort Colheita and 10 bottles of the 1985 Fonseca on Zachys (sorry Eric). I most likely overpaid for the Niepoort, but after reading some tasting notes (including Roy's) and other reviews, I figure you only live once and I have a 50th birthday coming in 2016 which would go well with the 1935.

Eric, if you would like to split the 1985 Fonseca let me know and I can ship 5 bottles to you.

Thank you for the offer, but I will survive without them. Glenn & I were looking to split either the Fonseca or the Grahams, and I was outbid early on the Fonseca and switched to the Grahams; so you weren't bidding against us in the end. Someone else helped drive the price up. I hope you enjoy all of those immensely.

Eric:

Thank you for your courtesy. I thought I was safe bidding on the 1985 Fonseca since I did not think the Fonseca were included in your bidding, but will try and coordinate better in future auctions.

Eric;

Congrats on the Croft....and thanks for posting as I was considering bidding until I saw these posts.

I, too, thought the Warre's bidding was odd considering the volume vs. bids.

portugalvineyards.com seems to have fair prices on vintage port below €70, all bottles above that is insanely overpriced, even better, I found out that there is a valid coupon at the moment for 10% discount. Coupon is "FB12345"

Mads,
I sent you an email the other day. Can you please check for it and get back to me, thanks.

R Bull,

Have no fear, I had the 1935 Niepoort Colheita less than 2 months ago, again, and it is still the blockbuster and one of the greatest Colheitas I've ever had.

As for the 1985 Fonseca ... one can never own enough of that Port. Congratulations!

Many thanks, Roy

I am looking forward to enjoying the '35 Niepoort in 2016, if I can hold off that long.

Ni 35 let me see...let me see... Ok yes, now I remember, a decent Wine. Nothing special really

Just an inch better than the Ni34.

Oh, life is great....

3 old Sandeman's came home to Day
Just ordinary Tawnies, But with the IVP- selo.

It amases me that ordinary everyday port, ment to be consumed shortly after purchased (40 years ago) are such a pure
nectar.

And two bottles. Please make coments:
One Borges centenary port
And a Ramos Pinto Velho 72 (But I thought the IVP selo ended in 1971?)

The IVP morphed into the IVDP in 2003:

He's referring to the change in Selo style I think. That was around 1973??
