Re: Port for sale by retailer
, also I think the M&S VP should be on special within the next week or two and for me that will be a good buy. Do you mean the 1994 they have just put on the shelves? Yes last year that went 25% off. I popped into my m&s last night and talking to them they indicated it was a glitch on the t...

Re: Port for sale by retailer
Tesco have stopped the discount on the Croft 2004 in half bottles, but are now selling the Croft 2005 LBV (Unfiltered; bottled 2010) with a 50% discount for £7 per full bottle. Sadly, Tesco's current "buy 6 bottles and get 25% off" offer does not apply to fortified wines. This is on port ...

Re: Port for sale by retailer
Is anyone able to confirm whether the 2005 Croft lbv is as good (or nearly as good) as the 2004? Unfortunately the 1/2 price deal at Tesco ends a couple of days before the "daily drinker" tasting, and the extra 25% off this Sunday, so would be good to know if anyone had already opened one...

That's a very good price for the Fonseca 70! So, how was it? I was very impressed with the price - and it was in perfect condition.
