A raft of 2016s went under the hammer in the UK yesterday, I picked up a six pack each of Fonseca and Croft.

Not good news for the vendors - after taking off the sale commission from the auction house, they will have lost roughly half their original investment - more if you add in the storage cost.

I haven't bought any Port in December!

Hooray for me!!

I was eyeing up that very lot as a matter of fact, but I never placed a bid. Nice win, you'll enjoy all of them.

Thanks Mike. Hopefully it'll be good. If you hadn't extolled the virtues of the '95 SW Madalena, I wouldn't have bid. There's a bit of a bidding war on WineBid atm for some Madalenas as well but I'm not bidding.

I have a bid on two of the '95 SW Madalena over on Winebid. My bid's low so it might not hold up. Someone had bid on two of them already so I split my bid between the 2 lots.

When you open the Madalena, give it a long decant.
