D27 Raby for D71 crusted. Fair swap I think.

Now mentioned in the Crusted port database.

If he adds an F34 then might consider it.

I bought 6 bottles of a newly released (still unlabelled) 10 year old by a small producer called Mapa (the owner, Pedro Garcias, also writes a weekly article about wine in the Portuguese newspaper Público). Tasted it at lunch on Friday and it's quite good, more on the fruity side than on the caramel side. The wine has an average age of well over 10 years, so it's pretty good value.

Found these to be quite mature the last time I had it, decent port but don't cellar them for another decade.

Had half of a bottle (not a half bottle!) at last weeks online tasting and I still think there is a little left so should get four or five years of cheap (a litttle over €30 a bottle) everyday drinking.

Oh yes, that's a bargain, well done.
