old Krohn & Wiese - what to expect

Post by Andreas Platt »

Have these two bottles in my cellar - undecided whether or not to open these I may ask if anyone out there has the slightest idea what to expect. Fill level is perfect; acquired 10-15 years ago.

Label says bottled 1944 (1834) respectively bottled 1971(1900)

Andreas,
Sadly there are known fakes of those from around that time frame (along with a lot of other older fake Ports). Not saying your’s are without better examination. Can you email me good high resolution photos of bottles, Selo’s, and labels?
