Eric,

Nice going on the 1991 Nacionals. I bought 3 close to release for $150 each. How much is it nowadays?

I thought about outbidding you on that one, but didn't

Thank you Andy--your reward may very well be a pour from that bottle. Roy, I think this one was a steal at just under $150 (after the auction premium, etc.). Of course you have the added value of provenance. For anyone else paying attention, I'm "foomench" on winebid.com. If I know who you are, I won't outbid a fellow FTLOPer either.

Shipment arrived today. I was somewhat but not totally surprised by this. I was expecting it to be bottled by Niepoort, who has bottled a number of Broadbent VPs, but in fact it was bottled by Quinta do Crasto.

I've been busy at the auctions -
2 x QUINTA DO PASSADOURO 04
4 x QUINTA DO VALE MEAO 04
6 x SMITH WOODHOUSE 2000
3 x TAYLORS LBV 03
3 x TAYLORS Quinta de Terra Feita 05

I missed out on some Noval 03 and some Warres 00 though

2 x Dow's 2004 LBV
1 x Dow's Quinta Do Bowfin 1998 VP

Whoa, haven't logged in here for ages. Haven't had much Port either. Anyway:

1 1970 Quinta do Noval VP
2 1994 Dow's VP
1 2007 Dow's VP
1 1980 Graham VP
1 1983 Gould Campbell VP
1 2005 Graham LBV (0,375L)

You might not have been around for a while Espen, but you've made some nice purchases.
Me, one 1964 Krohn Colheita Branco and one 1987 Warre's Quinta de Cavadinha. I'm going to test that underrated 1987 theory.

1968 Warre's Colheita
1990 Warre's LBV unfiltered
1981 Warre's LBV unfiltered
2002 Broadbent LBV

Andy, I saw that Warre's as well and I was going to pull the trigger - but then I noticed that you had already placed a bid. It does look interesting...

Yeah, they weren't too expensive so I thought it would be educational to try these older LBV's and see how they're holding up. Maybe sometime next month, after they arrive, we can assemble some older LBV's to try.

4 x Cálem Vintage 1985
2 x Roséz Vintage 1995
1 x Roséz LBV 2000
3 x Burmester 1992 Colheita

Count me in!

This is going too fast - I've only been enjoying Port for almost 3 months now and I'm buying by the case

6 x Burmester Vintage 1999 - but at 10£/15,5$/11,75€ it was too good an offer to pass on...

Soon there won't be any £$€ left for my other passion - single malts

Regards,
Claus

We told you this group would have you buying lots of Port in no time

You did and it's likely to continue, I'm (almost) afraid and I'm already having trouble finding space for my whisky
Next, I'll be travelling to Portugal instead of my planned 2 weeks Scotland next spring
