6x 2011 Taylor VP, 375ml
I was again outbid trying to buy 2011 Dow. I first failed to buy my original bottles (750ml) a second time when they went for 3x what I paid the first time. This time 375ml bottles were up for auction and I was sniped. I suppose if I had wanted those in 375ml more I would have put in a higher bid to start. They were only a little bit more per ml than I paid the first time.

May I ask, why did you sell your original 2011 Dow's?

I did not sell them. I purchased them from Premier Cru. Premier Cru went bankrupt and I never received them. Premier Cru's wine stock was sold en masse to an auction house as part of the bankruptcy. Some people purchased wine that Premier Cru never possessed. Some people made purchases that Premier Cru had, but had not delivered. There was a separate class action lawsuit filed on behalf of those in the second category, as the legal argument can be made that these bottles were in fact owned by the purchasers, but the end result didn't get anyone their wines.

I recognize those. I'm foomench on that site, and presume you are Dinger44. I'll try to remember that--I wouldn't want to drive up a bid price against a fellow FTLOPer.

my first magnum, and it's my birthyear
i guess i shouldn't wait too long to drink this one. it's quite old for an LBV right? (i paid 50€ for it)

Well that is a fun bottle. The magnum format will help with age, but that wasn't a great time for Noval either. Enjoy

Well done!

A 2010 Pocas LBV from a good B&M I haven't been to in a while.
1 x 1960 Martinez VP
1 x 1994 Churchill VP

The latter two from auction. Dubious ports, but the price seemed right so I took a chance.

12x 1994 Warres, 375 ml. I was just about out of ready-to-drink 375s.

Martinez, and more so their older things, can surprise once in a while.

Churchill from that era, hope you like VA.
