For The Love Of Port

Hello all,

i have the opportunity to buy a case with 12 bottles of Quinta do Noval 1997 Vintage for € 700 ( approx. $ 890 US).
I believe this is a fair price, please share your thoughts about this.

Cheers
Erik

I last had it June of this year, and although it only had 2 hours of decanting, I only gave it 91-92 points. Thats roughly $75/bottle (US) which isn't a great price, but not horrible either. Although I don't know what Port prices are normally like in your parts. Is there a way of getting only a 1/2 case?

I will split it wit a collegue of mine.
Prices i see are up to 150 euro a bottle.

That's an outstanding price! I would be buying at that price. Just make sure it's not the "silval".

Agreed - I would pick this up - but as David cautions, be sure it is not Silval
Good find!!

In that case I concur with the others, get it.

Lowest price in the US is $250... unless you find it at auction. It's actually quite rare. Christian Sealy wanted to make a "statement" to let it be known that Noval was back. So the selection was quite severe. I believe it's an RP 100 and WS 99 point wine - so there is always some demand. Does anyone know the total number of bottles produced?

LOL. I guess I havn't seen a price on this in a long time. I didn't realize it was that much here.

:wall: Aaaaaargh, the guy got "suddenly" a better offer. I dont believe him but what can i do ? Too bad for me

That sucks!!

Andy, is a nice price. The cheaper I'd found in the Net was 66€ price. But here was 270€ and now is 145€ without a underdanding reason.
