I do notice one has a slightly lower fill lever than the others. You must immediately post that bottle to me so I can check it for you and ensure it's good.

Have these been safely locked away offsite or are they going to be gone by the end of next week?

1875 Isaias W. Hellman Cucamonga Vineyard Port for my partner's 70th b-day in a couple of years. Reprising a meal/wines we had for his 50th at Commanders Palace. Have two more years to fill out the wine selection but thought this bottle would be a great way to end the meal. Bottle/cork and all look great-well maintained.

Re: What Port(s) have you purchased this week?
Thanks: I did read your complimentary review and the only couple of others online before making the decision. A bit of history and sounds like a great bottle still.
Winebid seems to have come across a few very well maintained looking bottles. They have posted another one up on this weeks auction. So far all the bottles have been selling.
