BTW Andy, Michael Rodriguez said to say hello. I picked this up at Bevy's, south Denver area, and he works there now. He knows you from when he used to work at Wine Exchange in the LA area.

Drink the Taylor first, and soon. Put others away for later. :)

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.
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.. [cheers.gif]

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.

David,

Did you purchase these in Portugal, in the States or online?
