u think the 77 fonseca is a good punt at 100$ with signs of seepage?

Manley’s Wine & Spirits (featuring Daniel Brashi as the Manager), 35 Eighth Avenue, New York NY 10014-5103, telephone +1 212 242 3712, is selling for $99·99+tax = $108·36 Quinta do Marco 1983. Perhaps g-man and I will share one this coming Saturday.

[RonnieRoots]

Don't you think that's rather expensive for a second port from a producer who was going through a weak period?

[jdaw1]

Yes. One, just one, bought for novelty and rareness and I’ve-never-tasted-this-ness, rather than because I’m expecting a budget version of Fonseca 1966.

True. But $99 is quite a good price for G85. No-one can have enough G85.

Omitting the apostrophe from Warre’s is offensive, but better than using a grave accent.

I wonder if Aabalat ever sell anything?

The wines and the prices are certainly fine, but perhaps the rare comes from the sales?

Tesco are now selling Quinta do Noval 2001 LBV for GBP9.75/bottle. Not showing as available online but it was in Tesco Gatwick last night at this price and my previous online orders show it at that price. As a matter of idle interest, they also tell me that is GBP13/litre!

It was not expressed as a sale price so it appears to be a permanent reduction in sale price. Give the other options are:

Dows Master Blend LBV @ GBP7.99 special (GBP10.99 normal)
Grahams LBV @ GBP11.62
Taylors LBV @ GBP10.97
Tesco LBV @ GBP7.18

it suggests Tesco see the Noval LBV as bottom end of the market, marginally above own label!

Ben,

This is not just the view of Tesco, but the UK port trade in general. I have never understood why Noval LBV is so well priced compared to other unfiltered LBVs and am completely bemused why anyone would pay more £ for a Taylor or Graham filtered wine if they had the option of a reasonably mature (and therefore easily drinkable) Noval unfiltered. I remember having this discussing with Christian Seely (Managing Director of Noval) at a dinner he hosted on Roy's trip to the Douro in 2006. He tells me he can't understand it either!

One way to look at it is that the UK port trades madness is our oportunity

Enjoy.

One of the vouchers that came with my receipt yesterday was promoting next week as a Tesco “Wine Festival† with various discounts being promised. I wonder if the Noval price might be a sale price put out in anticipation of that? The voucher was also promising 50% discounts, so it might be worth keeping an eye on the Port, in case they discount one of these.
