2 x 1994 Quinta Do Noval VP
7 x 2004 Taylor's Vargellas SQVP ($26 per bottle)

Graham's 2011, 1 case of 6.

From a speculative BBX bid that I'd long forgotten about, so pretty happy with the price (and of course, provenance).

2 x Kopke 50 years old Tawny

Big fan of Tawny styles port - and especially the Single harvest

12 x Croft Roeda 1967 in OWC - arrived today, bottles generally look OK although the wax capsules have shattered in normal Croft fashion.

Curious as to your impression when you try one.

Going to leave them for a few weeks - to settle after shipping - before opening one. Will post a note.

6x Vesuvio 1998. £33 each from BBX (a winesearcher notification pinged me).

Tasting notes on this are fairly divided, but sounds like it’s drinking well now and could go another 20 years tops - in which case I’ll work my way through it in that timeframe. But anybody with experience please let me know if you disagree.

Sainsburys dropped their price on the Graham’s Crusted to £13 (actually £12 in the store that I visited) so I bought all they had (8) as I bought a few before Christmas and I gave away a few to friends (how sad am I? Still trying to convert them to the dark side!) and they all said it went down well (I suspect there may have been some cloves lemon and hot water involved Anyway the packaging and labelling was totally different (green box creamy coloured labels as opposed to orange surround and white labels at Christmas; was this very old stock?

I think the green box is the old packaging for the Graham Crusted. I seem to remember being in Booth’s many years ago and buying Graham 2002 Crusted in those green boxes.

6 x Fonseca 1992 @£60 delivered.

I think the old green box was in use right up until the 2013 Crusted release in the last 2 years. which must have a split run to allow it to change to the Graham’s 200 Years celebration packaging with the orange wood and white cardboard label.

@ Alex M - very good buy at that price

The orange wood can be squashed flat, to make useful cellar kneel padding.
