If you could buy any bottle...

[Glenn E.]

It is no coincidence that we have yet to see a single Canadian post a response in this thread. I think we should to our Canadian Port loving brethren, and for a moment, share in their pain.

That's because one of their posts would look like this:

$50 - Quinta do Infantado Fine Ruby Port
$100 - Fonseca bin 27
$250 - 2001 Warre's LBV
$500 - 2005 Quinta do Vesuvio VP
$1000 - 1985 Taylor VP

[Eric Menchen]

Wow, no one has mentioned 1948 Taylor or 1931 Noval on their list

Zachy's February online auction:

LOT 502 Quinta do Noval 1931
750ml 2 [bottles]
ESTIMATE $3,000 - $5,000
Current Bid: $2,400 Min. Bid

Plus their premium of 20-22% (forget which they are).

That's not cheap. Last year in the UK these sold at auction for £885 (say $1600) including premium.

That listing was for two bottles, so if you are talking $1600 each, we are in the same ballpark. Of course the auction isn't over yet.

Eric,

Would you please be so kind as to let us know what that bottle goes for at the end of the auction.

[Maurice Fitzhugh]

Roy,

I purchased a bottle of Quinta Do Noval 1931 at auction this summer and paid 1996 that included the extra charges

[Eric Menchen]

The two bottles of 1931 Noval went for $2400 x 1.21 = $2904, or $1452 each.
