1934 Burmester VP
Has anyone ever tried this particular VP? I cannot find any tasting notes anywhere. At any rate, I am being offered a couple of bottles, which are in good shape, for about EUR 200 apiece.

Can you post picks of the bottle?

Cool pic (I scaled it down a bit to make it easier to see). Haven't had it but Burmester did make a lot of off vintages. At that price, so long as the fill level is good, I'd take a chance on it.

Thanks; let us give it a shot. (And thanks for sorting out the picture for me; I am quite hopeless with such things.)

Please Mr V, there are some jolly fine ports from that year and you've tasted some of them with me (Noval and Warre, for example)! 
More seriously Will, I'd love to hear how the Burmester from 1934 turns out to be today. 1934 was a small vintage but produced some superb ports. I rate the '34 Noval as highly as the '31 but don't have much experience with Burmester's vintage ports.
