Purchased at Harvy Nichols - I was taking advantage of the American Express promotion (spend £25/receive £25 rebate) so the wine cost me not very much at all.

It's nowhere near the record for a case of port. On 23rd November 2012, Christie's in Hong Kong sold a case of Nacional 1963 for £25,098 (inc. bp).uncle tom wrote:A case of Graham 1897 magnums from the cellars of La Tour d'Argent restaurant in Paris, shared with AHB

Just 5 years before that, a case of Nacional 1963 sold at Christie's in New York for £1,167. Who says port prices haven't risen at the top end?

I wonder if it was the same case; not a bad investment if so...AHB wrote:It's nowhere near the record for a case of port.

In preparation for Christmas, there was an accidental acquisition of some Dow's Trademark (some=36 bottles)
Christmas Day produced an "ooh" with a Morgan 66
Any offers around in the area? Christmas caused a bit of a hit on the stocks

January tends to be a lean month for supermarket offers due to the number of people kidding themselves into believing that a month without alcohol solves all of the world's problems

Re: Latest buy
Tesco appear to be re-filling their boots with Croft LBV 2004 halves. Having purchased somewhere in the region of two gross, and having one gross left in my cellar, I am reluctant to purchase more for my own use. (reluctant = don't rule it out)
If those whom I see regularly want some could they please let me know and I will buy transportable amounts on your behalf when I see them on the shelf.

Just what I'm drinking right now! It is really rather tasty. I can recommend this if someone is looking for a reasonably casual house port or daily drinker.DRT wrote:...Croft LBV 2004 halves...
