new purchases

Post by Andreas Platt »

Recently i was lucky bidder on some lots, consisting for example of

- Borges 1846 T
- 1856 B (was presented as Adegas Torreao)
- Perestrello 1840 T
- Perestrello 1860 M

If anyone has any TN's or info about any of these one, don't hesitate to let us know.

Best,

The 1846 Borges Terrantez has two notes from Broadbent. He gave the earlier bottling 5 stars and the later bottling (1950) 3 stars.
Unfortunately, I personally have no tasting notes on this or the others.

I have not had the Borges version, but one experience with the 1846 Blandy's Terrantez is one I will never forget!
