2005 Porto Rocha LBV for $20

[Glenn E.]

My local QFC just got in a 6-pack. Anyone have any experience with it? I don't see anything in the TNDB. 20 bucks for a good LBV isn't bad at all, plus I can get an extra 10% discount if I buy all 6. But I'd prefer to know something about it before I do that...

Are you kidding?

You are worrying about getting six bottles of VP for $108? <--- Glenn

This should be as difficult a decision as you buying that new 440 bottle storage unit. Heck, buy these 6 bottles of Rocha and you'd only have to buy another 434 bottles of Port to fill it!

It's LBV! Yeah, if it were VP I'd have pulled the trigger without thinking. That's how I got those 10 Quinta do Tedo '97 VPs for $21 each.

Like I said, $20 isn't bad for a good LBV, but since I can find LBVs like that pretty regularly (that's typically what I pay for the 2003 Taylor), there's no real need to buy it all up unless it's something really great.

I have not had the Rocha 2005 LBV, so I can't be of help. Sorry for missing the LBV part of the equation. I would suggest going in and buying one and mentioning that you'd like to sample it before buying the other 5 ... but to hold them for you and make sure she'd give you the six pack price if you came back after trying the first one, to buy the rest. Win-win.
