What Port(s) have you purchased this week?

[Gerwin de Graaf]

2 magnums of 2005 Fonseca Guimaraens VP.
I've been looking for a long time to find a (any) 2005 VP, as it's my oldest son's birthyear. So one of these will go to him, the other will maybe be opened at an apropiate time by me
When I got them home today, they stated on the labels that these magnums were numbers 3 respectively 11 of 12 mags in total bottled especially for The Netherlands. Gives it something extra special in my book!

The Lady of the house brought home Yesterday one fantastic portbottle....
I tell You she is a nice woman, and far to good to me

Feist Fontella Colheita 1927.

Am I a lucky guy?

Very lucky, Allan! When was it bottled, out of curiosity?

Hi Bradley
Sadly no notice on the label.
In fact. I have never seen a Colheita, without a note showing the bottlingdate.
The bottle has the old selo IVP, telling me the date of the bottling was early 1970.
Truely an amazing bottle. It has been kept well for more than 45 years.

Some years ago when this lovely Lady of mine turned 50 (2013), I had a lineup with Ports from 1963, and the winner (besides me) was a Feist Colheita 1963!

[Gerwin de Graaf]

1998 Taylor's Vargellas VP x 6
1991 Cálem VP 12x (bargain at auction)
1990 Kopke Colheita 3x (part of the 1991 lot, again a bargain)

It turned out a nice sunday afternoon for following the auction online!

Hi! I´m new to this forum, and also very new to port in general, although I suspect I´m beginning to get just as hooked as the rest of you seem to be...

Just got back from the local shop with these:

- Quinta de Val da Figueira 10 year
- Roze´s LBV 2003

It will be my first LBV (have also yet to try a vintage or colheita). Exciting!

Indeed was, retailer had ranging from 5 to 250 bottles of the 2000/2003 on offers, can I link to retailers here?

[Andy Velebil]

Mads, yes you can link but its better and tends to get more response if you post (or also cross post) in the marketplace section.

And good haul for both of you!

I bought it from Vintage Wine and Port in UK, look at their offers and a working coupon "VWP2016" :)

[Eric Ifune]

Picked up a bottle of the Taylor's Single Harvest 1965. Found it at a decent price.

[Allan Engelsted Laurents]

Two old bottlings of Taylor 30 YO (1973)
One funny White Tawny from Wiese & Krohn,
And one of my alltime favorites, the very dry old from Niepoort.
