Patrick Grubb had this listed in his October 2005 list:

"1 bottle 1802 Terrantez, Reserva Pereira D'Oliveira ₤660"

There are no other details or comments. It was not in the 2006 list. The price has increased nicely. Turville is asking ₤2450.

Stupid me, old man short memory . I was at D'oliveira two days ago ( home yeasterday ) and forgot to ask Luis who I
know well... Anyone else to Funchal soon ??

Coud not resist little research here and sendt a mail to Turville Valley Wines and
got an instant answer from Chistopher Davis with picture. He wrote:

""Stencilled bottle with shipper’s tied-on neck label. Wax seal and government selo de garantia.
Excellent level, well up the neck. This Terrantez 1802 is not the same as the bottling with a tasting note in
Alex Liddell's book, but it may well be the identical wine, because d’Oliveira sourced some of his oldest wines from Acciaoli.""

The bottle looks like a 1795 T from Barbeito with tied-on D'Oliveira label.......
