I have no LBVs, so am entirely in your hands. Please may I pay $ on the day?

Wait! You can’t do a 1970 horizontal until I’m in the country. I’m an admin, so I make the rules. (Errr, well, you know, err hello KillerB, err, something. Anyway, those are the rules.) In the UK I have 1970: Cockburn; Croft; Delaforce; Fonseca magnums; Hutcheson; Noval; Offley Boa Vista; Royal Opor...

I am about to be an uncle again, so a case of something will be needed.

1970 is a grade-A splendid vintage.

OK, O&O delayed.

LBVs on the previously-agreed date of 8th May.

Objections?

38? Youngster.

Once did a dry-suit dive in a lake in Iceland. Not warm. And last new year did the Coney Island swim with the Polar Bear club. Also not warm.

Hello and welcome, fellow scuba person (though far better than me, it seems). I have a very modest but young collection of port, about half of which dates from my only trip so far to Oporto. Mostly 2000 & 2003 plus a few other VP's from 1994 & 1997 that I have collected at various opportunit...

Doh!

— Retard Pedant.

A pedant—though it is unlikely that there will be any severe pedants present—might observe that 2000 was in the nineteenth century. Cockburn 2003 (much of which is being auctioned soon at Bonhams) would save the extra century.

Hurray for getting lucky.

Please post a picture of the bottle. I was afraid you'd ask that.. Get an account on flickr or the like. Upload picture to account.

Presumably the score should be 8-6-1: the dates of consumption being now, in 10 years, and just before a flight to the Douro.

Please do post your TNs as well.

We need a decision. Possibilities: Punish Alex for employing unreliable lawyers by keeping the current plans; Punish g-man for having a drinking chum who employs unreliable lawyers, by moving the date forward a week; Keep date of 8th May, change theme, and encourage Alex to bring his old bottle next...

One today.

The sun is shining where-ever you go, surely?

And, after that journey, you probably need a drink.

My only other Cockburn (in the UK or the US) is a single bottle of 1985. Available at moderate cost if needed. But speak before Alex travels to my father’s to collect other bottles.

I forgot to record my hammer price, but with non-delivery extras was £440, so about £23 a bottle. A bottle from t...
