An individual posted a few cases for sale on Facebook of Lancer's Vin Rose and Vinho Branco. A picture of the rose is below. Anyone seen these before? Some questions before I purchase.
Any idea on price? The seller says they are from 76 and 77. Bottles that are maybe 10 years old today go for $5.99-10.99.
Types of grapes used? I see Fonseca produces it. They still do. I would only buy it if there's some port type grapes in it (tinta cao, touriga nacional, etc)
Would this age well?
Thanks for your help!

Re: Lancer's Vin Rose Dinner Wine
J. M. da Fonseca is not Fonseca, though Jose Maria da Fonseca is also highly respected. I don't believe they make Port, though... just table wines.A dschus wrote:An individual posted a few cases for sale on Facebook of Lancer's Vin Rose and Vinho Branco. A picture of the rose is below.

Re: Lancer's Vin Rose Dinner Wine
How much are they asking?
If cheap enough may be worth the gamble. However, a Rose that old I wouldn't hold my breath they are going to be a mind blowing experience. Odds are they are shot...but one never knows.

Re: Lancer's Vin Rose Dinner Wine
I'd buy them if they were cheap. Worth it just to say you tried it. How many will ever try a Lancer's rose that old; even if it's pour down the drain wine?Andy Velebil wrote:How much are they asking?

Why would you even be curious? This is a bog standard rosé wine of the same standard as Mateus. ![[shrug.gif]](./images/smilies/shrug.gif "Huh?")
