The 1920M Lomelino is afaik the same as the legendary 1920M Cossart Gordon (the to be said "last" Faja dos Padres).

Is the 1880T Oli a recent or an old bottling? Paper or stencil?

Congrats!

I bought these today - can anyone advise on when they might have been bottled, and how old the wines might have been at that point?

Can't see the selos that well. Are they junta selos? They would say JVN. If so, likely from the earlt 70's.
No back labels? The Reserva Sercial and Reserva Verdelho are famous wines, but most have different labels.

I've now collected the bottles from the auctioneer, and there are no back labels. I read on another thread on this site that sometimes the "golden label" printed for the importer was affixed on top of the older H+H label, thus obscuring it. Might that be a possibility here? (Yes they are JNV selos.)

Nothing too fancy, but I've heard that it drinks well...

Not had that one. Would love to know what you think of it whenever you open it.
