I spy a theme.
Ship Justin’s case of Irish bottled T70 to the B&F, and drink them?

I’m available.

It's my favorite 1994 Port with the Fonseca not far behind. This will bring me up to 25 bottles.

Found another 92 to add to the collection viewtopic.php?p=137440#p137440.

Was not aware of the existence of this bottle, but I'm glad I was able to buy it. To my knowledge I am only missing the Fortnum & Mason botteling now.

7 x Warre 1975 @ £24.07 each delivered.

Think that's a bargain.

IIRC, it’s actually a 1992 Morgan that was relabeled as The Yeatman VP so they could use it at the hotel. They didn’t recork them, so the cork should reveal what it was originally.

Already have a few of these and have drunk a lot over the years. If they've been reasonably well looked after they're generally quite nice. Probably one of the better 75s. Nothing special, but good drinking especially if you can get them for a low-ish price.

A nicely drinking 51 year-old Port for a little over $32 is a fantastic win for sure.

Wasn't even an auction. One of the non-crazy offerings on Squelch.

6 bottles of Poças 2015 White Colheita (bottled 2025) arrived at the house yesterday, courtesy of House of Townend.

One appears to be rapidly evaporating this sunny afternoon.
Top 2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!

2026: DR Very Old White, Graham Stone Terraces 2011, Quevedo Branco 1986 b.2026

1 x Warre 1974 LBV - £44 delivered. All seems OK so probably a good buy.

I came across a bottle of Warre Otima 10YO White while in Porto - the Symington’s first white with an indication of age that I am aware of.

Needless to say, there was only one thing to do.

Was it to yell "why?! Why?! Why would you do this?" and dash your tambuladeira to floor in the middle of the Confraria?

(just kidding, I like white port too)

I might have done that if they’d been first to market with a 10 year old pink Port. But white, they’re just trying to catch up.

1 x 12 1977 Dows. Splitting with Mike W and Andrew K. Bottles are not in the greatest of shape but the price was right!
