$29.99 each, free delivery with three. Anyone had this besides Andy's bad pop & pour sediment experience?

The wine was made by one of Portugal's great wine makers, Dirk van deer Niepoort. The 1997 was partially fermented in the traditional granite "laggers", partially in autovinificators, some of the wine was aged in oak "Pipes" and the rest was aged in stainless steel (to enhance the fruit). The wine comes from 70-year-old vines of predominately Tinta Roriz, Tinta Amarella and Touriga Nacional grapes.

I haven't had it, but at that price I think it's a pretty safe buy. According to the label it was bottled in 2000, so one of the rare 3rd year bottlings of Vintage Port. I'm going to go order a couple now!

I believe 'laggers' are the ones they use when they want the wine to ferment very slowly...

That explains the third year bottling.
