Delivery today :D

Unfortunately, one box of 6 of the LBV had fallen whilst loading, and all 6 bottles were broken :crying: . So no 12 but only 6 bottles of the 1997 Niepoort LBV for me :(

6 x Taylor's 1970 VP. At £70 a bottle i thought this was well priced. Levels are top shoulder or in neck but unfortunately most of the labels have slipped off.

That is a good price. Most that I have seen recently have been around £100. Well done!

According to Companies House, company 02966320 is called ‟FINE & RARE WINES LIMITED”.

I wasn’t obviously very wrong, though I would not myself have criticised use of a ‟+”.

1 bottle Fortnum and Mason LBV 1997 b0ttled 2002 produced by Burmester. Although not labled as traditional or unfiltered states on label that light deposit expected, also has forced cork so expecting something nice. Came as part of job lot of 11 bottles wines and spirits from local auction.
