6 x Fonseca Quinta do Panascal 1986 (at auction last Sunday). I didn't know this was made (I know of the 1986 Guimaraens). Also the label is somewhat of a mystery to me (I'll try to post a couple of pictures). Does anyone know these kind of labels from Fonseca? And since I don't have a clou when the...

1998 Taylor's Vargellas VP x 6
1991 Cálem VP 12x (bargain at auction)
1990 Kopke Colheita 3x (part of the 1991 lot, again a bargain)

It turned out a nice Sunday afternoon for following the auction online!

2 magnums of 2005 Fonseca Guimaraens VP. I've been looking for a long time to find a (any) 2005 VP, as it's my oldest son's birthyear. So one of these will go to him, the other will maybe be opened at an apropiate time by me :mrgreen: When I got them home today, they stated on the labels that these ...

2003 Fonseca VP (6x)

2x 1974 Kopke Colheita (bottled 2004)
1x 1977 Kopke Vintage
1x 1989 Borges & Irmao Vintage

Both were 2-bottle lots at auction last weekend.

I've had some good auction deals in the last couple of years, including: - sixpacks of Vesuvio 1995, 1997 and 1998 all at €30 a bottle - Fonseca 2000, 7 bt @ € 48 a bottle - Mix lot of 9 bt. Borges & Irmao 1970 (2), C da Silva 1977 (2), Niepoort 1978, Dow's 1980, Warre Cavadinha 1984, Burmester ...

We'll done. Good purchases. Fair prices? Not too bad I guess, I did not totally realise that there was 21% VAT to be added to my bid (not the auctioneer's fault, they did indicate it, I just overlooked). In total, including shipping I paid about €41 a bottle. The bottles are in pristine condition, ...

5 x Kopke 1994 VP

You've convinced me . Earlier tonight I got another 1971 Golden White.

Tnx Gerwin . But you can try the Dalva Golden White in the same auction. You'll be surprised. Martin Thanks for the tip! Actually, I've got one of those already (via this auction as well some time ago). Be aware that this is a 500ml bottle (not full size), which is not stated (I think) in the descr...

Hi, Last Thursday I bought 6x Quinta de Sta. Eufemia LBV 2007 on auction for just over €100,~ including shipping. This week I try to purchase a lot of 18 different bottles of Ware's Martin Good score! I know the auction and have bought there before, regularly (I find sometimes the prices get quite ...

Earlier this evening went to check the bottles. I decided to take them, they look in pretty good shape (all three have levels in the upper shoulder of the bottles, no signs of leakage). The capsules mention (as far as I can read): shipped solely by Guimaraens & Co Porto. I've not seen this stat...

Thanks for everyone's reactions and advice (from the other forum as well, will post over there too)! :330000: I've made an appointment to check the bottles sometime next week. I received confirmation that the bottles are mine if I want them (sellers has accepted my offer so we are on agreement price...

Hi all, I would like to ask your expert opinion on the following. I have the chance to buy a couple of bottles of Finest 1947 Vintage Port. The label states: Shipped by Guimaraens & Co Porto (bottled by) N.v. Wijnhandel Hendrik Kruimel Amsterdam. I only have seen one picture (I'll attach it). I ...

C da Silva Dalva Golden White Colheita 1971
C da Silva Presidential Colheita 1967

Gerwin, my local Gall & Gall has Dow 2007 for €60. On their "crazy wine days" you even get 50% reduction on the 2nd bottle. I would not be suprised if they have been standing there for over 3 years but guess that with such a young port and our cool climate this should not be be major ...

Smith Woodhouse 2000 VP (12)
Smith Woodhouse 2007 VP (6)

only to be emailed to say the Avery case is no longer available. Not me guv — I didn’t snaffle it. But Gerwin bought a case of this rather rare port a few days ago. At least it went to a good home :) Indeed, they've arrived last Thursday (shipping done by Connoisseurs) at my home. I've ordered my c...

To my knowledge, members of this board have been responsible for the disappearance of at least 33 of those bottles!

I have a case of these on the way over at this moment (seems I was just in time to get them)

- Averys 1963 VP (12)
- Graham's 1966 VP (5)

Noval Nacional 1996

- Fonseca 1997 VP x 1
- Smith Woodhouse 2000 VP x 2
- Cálem 1970 VP x 4

I've finally compiled my wishlist as well (to sort of 'complete' my VP collection): - Warre 2007 (3) - Dow 2007 (3) - Any 2003's (12 in total) with, if possible, better than average Price-Quality ratio's - Fonseca 1997 ( 3 2 ) - Taylor 1997 (3) - Martinez 1994 (3) - Gould Campbell 1994 (3) - Smith W...

1977 Dow's VP 1983 Croft Q da Roeda. :shock: I know :D , both have a questionable reputation to say the least, but it's always a bit of a gamble, which I got at a reasonable price. And the good bottles (non-corked) of D77 seem to be very good (according to the reviews, never had it myself before), ...
