Drink the Taylor first, and soon. Put others away for later. :)Jonathan S wrote:-1980 Taylor VP

Re: What Port(s) have you purchased this week?
I got lucky, I saw it on an auction and there were no bids. I haven't received the bottles yet, but they are supposed to be in top condition.Andy Velebil wrote: ↑Thu Oct 21, 2021 9:05 pmRarely see a case of that this side of the pond.Mike J. W. wrote:12 x 1983 Offley Boa Vista VP
The Offley Boa Vista Ports are not usually highly rated, but I find them to be sneaky good, especially with some age on them. The best part is that they normally sell for a low price.

Only amongst those who don't know them..The Offley Boa Vista Ports are not usually highly rated
Aside from drinking to a standard that often puts them on a par with Taylor, the quality of bottling is usually better than most, with good levels.
