My Tesco has stopped selling this, and has removed the shelf tag. I guess that this has been discontinued - perhaps we've bought it all!

10 on shelf today, don't know if it's relevant but I'm getting this from the only store Where I ever saw this sold at full price when they were periodically discounting it.

Picked up a case of 2007 Romaneira VP for $20/bottle. Couldn't pass it up at that price.

Now we know "who ate all the pies" !

After that not much was left in the SE so I picked up some everyday ports, I had the opposite problem where a mis communication meant I ended up with slightly more than I planned...

These posts will be few and far between but I did buy 12 x Quinta Do Bomfim 1990.

1 bottle Dows Quinta do Bomfim 2001
1 bottle Dows Crusted bottled 2004
Will pick up more when I am paid next week if still on offer, unless a certain Tesco store which presently has "temporarily out of stock" on space reserved for Croft 2004 unfiltered lbv restocks(cleared shelf of 10 bottles about a week ago), although suspect last Tesco store to stock this has finally run out.

Seem to be some old stuff coming on market
1950 Cockburn
1955 Croft.

Not so exotic perhaps but nonetheless:

24 Grahams 1994
12 Taylor 1985

Whoo-hoo! I bought 6 bottles of Taylor 1992 today. That's a port which has been on my target list for a long time, doubly so since I got to try it for the first time early this year and was really impressed.

The only drawback was the ridiculous price it has been achieving...until today!

Do tell! Are there any more at a non-ridiculous price?
