New box from Quinta do Mourão

Peter Skov posted this picture of Quinta do Mourão's fancy new box. What comes in the box is up to you - you can order just about any assortment of their TWAIOA/WWAIOA in this box (4 x 500ml bottles) directly from their website at Quinta do Mourão. At one point you could even include the Very Old tawnies and whites, but it appears they've scaled it back a bit now as it's just the 10-40 in each range.

Note that Rio Bom is the brand name of S. Leonardo in Denmark (and perhaps elsewhere). As far as I know they're otherwise the same Ports.

I love the look, far better than cheap pine boxes. but my issue is the cost is quite high to make these and the forest fire smell of the burnt cork is rather off-putting. Just send me the bottles so I can enjoy the excellent contents.

This is a general problem by the way, not just Q d M
