Hello and welcome to :tpf:. Others more expert than I will answer your question, but meanwhile you might wish to read the Standard advice to would-be vendors.

I was born in 1963 and enjoy drinking port as old as I am.

I'm pleased to report that a deal was done and that the bottles are now the latest in a long list of port that I have stopped buying.

I remain envious of your legendary willpower. Good work.

Explanation for readers unfamiliar with the story: AHB has said that he has enough Port. So he has stopped buying Port. Indeed, he ‘stopped’ some time and some purchases ago. I can resist anything except temptation — Oscar Wilde.
