2x 1975 Cockburn VP
Had this a few years ago and was pleasantly surprised given the history of the year. I thought it worth the gamble at $43 each.

I picked up both the 1964 and 1967 Taylor Fladgate ‘Very Old’ releases. I tried the 1967 last summer in Gaia (for my 50th birthday- born in 1967.) These will be for some special occasion.
I also purchased a few bottles of Burmester 1998 Colheita, which were exceptional for the price, and a wonderful way to introduce friends to Port without opening a megabottle.
Best,
Andrew

Not bought recently, but discovered on a stock list from some offsite storage. Apparently in 2009 I bought 24 half bottles of Smith Woodhouse 2000.

Nice, they might be almost ready for drinking now.

Nice ports. The Offley is quite good and flies under the radar.

I'm looking forward to trying the Offley Boa. I've never had one before, so I'm curious about their style. If it's good, I know where I can pick up a few more bottles of it at a good price.

2011 Alves de Sousa (at a really good price)
2007 Dow (at a ridiculously good price. Unfortunately, it was their last bottle)
