Very nice price. But they do have insane shipping costs. That's what they told me some months ago for Germany.RonnieRoots wrote:Fonseca 2007 on sale at Garrafeira Nacional. Only 45 euro a bottle.
Those shipping costs are quite high indeed. But still, it amounts to around 8 euro a bottle, and 53 euro for a bottle of Fonseca 2007 is probably much cheaper than anything you can find in either Germany or Holland. I know it's around 80 euro at Ton Overmars.Michael M. wrote:Very nice price. But they do have insane shipping costs.

Ronald, your are quite right with your total view. But I find those prices to be bawdy and I am not willing to support that. BTW: The shipping of 12 bottles from Germany to Portugal by the German company HERMES would cost 18,90 EUR- insurance included.RonnieRoots wrote:Those shipping costs are quite high indeed.

Welcome to the forum - and delighted that you are as impressed by the Croft LBV as we are. It's a very good price to quality ratio.rackem wrote:Hi
I'm new to the forum and after reading this post i happen to find myself in Tesco's today and bought 6 bottles of the croft mentioned earlier.

This port punches way above its price tag!
This is on port at present not sherry so bag another 25% off available until 7th November £5.25/bottle instead of £14 limit to 12 per online orderAHB wrote: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.
You need to order via groceries and not via wine by the case hence the limit of 12 bottlesclawhit wrote:This is on port at present not sherry so bag another 25% off available until 7th November £5.25/bottle instead of £14 limit to 12 per online orderAHB wrote: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.

I was told that the 25% off for 6 bottles deal excluded fortified winesRAYC wrote: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 and has initial impressions (though, at £5.25, I suspect you can't go wrong picking up a few!).
I called them to make sure it was, as stated previously you have to order via the groceries to get the discount instead of the wine by the case - all very confusing if you ask me!DRT wrote:I was told that the 25% off for 6 bottles deal excluded fortified winesRAYC wrote:Is anyone able to confirm whether the 2005 Croft lbv is as good (or nearly as good) as the 2004?

Do you mean the 1994 they have just put on the shelves?clawhit wrote:, 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.
I really appreciate you posting this. I went into Tesco this morning and again asked the manager if fortified wine was included in the buy 6, get 25% discount offer.clawhit wrote:This is on port at present not sherry so bag another 25% off available until 7th November £5.25/bottle instead of £14 limit to 12 per online orderAHB wrote: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.

Excellent I'm glad you managed to get some - the 94 is a good call also. It turns a good deal into an outstanding deal happy drinkingAHB wrote:I really appreciate you posting this.

Again, he said no.
So we compromised and I scanned 6 bottles of Croft 2005 LBV and, as if by magic, the 25% discount appeared. I left with these 6 bottles (all they had) and 6 bottles of the Tesco 1994 vintage port. Now all I have to do is to figure out where to keep them for the next few months!
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 tills which took 25% off all wines and spirits. I'll know within the next couple of weeks though as that is when all they Christmas codes come out. It was a beautiful port and I was gutted that I didn't purchase more of it - in saying that though I am not sure I would pay full price as given that Tesco's VP is the same year and is on special offer at the moment I don't think it justifies the 100% extra price tag. I'll keep you posted as to any discounts that come up.benread wrote:Do you mean the 1994 they have just put on the shelves?clawhit wrote:, 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.

GBP 1200 for a case of Taylor 1970 is more than I have been paying recently (£71-88 inc. VAT). The provenance would have to be exceptional to make it worth that much. Any idea of the provenance?Chris Doty wrote:JUST GOT A PRIVATE OFFER (i.e., NO VAT) FOR 1 CASE of 1970 TAYLOR FOR 1,200.
