Re: Latest buy
Managed to pick up one of the T85s yesterday also at £40 when passing another Tesco. Noticed they also had the Graham's Crusted at £12 instead of £18, but that it was the 2006 rather than the (recently stocked) 1998.
Re: Latest buy
Would suggest that they've also run out out of the 2002 which they were stocking subsequent to the 1998.PhilW wrote:Managed to pick up one of the T85s yesterday also at £40 when passing another Tesco.

Having picked up a couple of dozen of the Sandeman 2003 Vau Vintage from Tesco thought my port buying was done for the month. Today a friend offered me some bottles found when an elderly relative moved into a home. they are 2 bottles Dow's 1955, 1 bottle Croft 1963, 1 bottle Dow's reserve "matured in wood and bottled in 1973"(LBV?), 1 bottle Taylor's select port(gone to kitchen cupboard and also a bottle of 1962 Chateau Certan Pomerol.

Re: Latest buy
The bottle plus invoice and bin label was bought last Saturday at Tennants - on a rather large detour on a trip to go walking in Wales.Definitely a story worth telling!
It's now sitting next to me in a hotel room in Newport - Pembrokeshire..
The invoice is quite faded but otherwise in good condition, however it may not scan well and has the pipe's duty 'ticket' attached - which I don't want to fold back in the scanner to show the text underneath for fear of damaging it.
When I get back I will get some help from my mother - who is much better at reading old copperplate handwriting than I am - and prepare a full transcript..

12 Offley Boa Vista 1994.
Everyone has their price, it is said, and 9% off appears to be mine. I had been succesfully resisting this for quite a while, and then Nickolls and Perks have a sale.

I bought this from N&P some time ago at the pre-sale price, which i thought was attractive at the time. Having since tasted it, i am very happy with the price paid and I think yours was a real bargain. Exceptionally good value for money.DaveRL wrote:12 Offley Boa Vista 1994.

Re: Latest buy
Thank you both for the tip - I have bought a case, it seems very reasonable and I suspect they have a fair depth of stock as they still listed the 12 bottle case as available post purchase...PopulusTremula wrote:I bought this from N&P some time ago at the pre-sale price, which i thought was attractive at the time.
