Dear grocery store wine manager - $65 for Dow's 20-yr old Tawny Port is not a closeout price. Nor is $68 for a 500 ml Royal Oporto 20-yr old Tawny Port.
Given how outrageous all of the other prices were, I suspect that these Taylors were mislabeled. At least I solved their problem for them - they have none left now.
hehe might have been the new york taylor =)

Given that the 20yr tawny is more of a sipping port and the lbv a drinking port, you might actually get a longer enjoyment time for your buck w the higher priced item than w the cheaper one!

A few days later, side by side, I seem to prefer the mid-palate on the Andresen. It is richer than that of the Ferreira, perhaps due to the lower acidity.
Have you guys tasted this Andresen 20 yr?

Unfortunately, one box of 6 of the LBV had fallen whilst loading, and all 6 bottles were broken
. So no 12 but only 6 bottles of the 1997 Niepoort LBV for me

That's horrible. But the good side is they were two six packs otherwise you may have lost them all.

Indeed. And you're quite right about the silver lining here (not loosing all the bottles)
. And the auctionhouse that made the transportarrangement, already said that I'll get my money back from them (so I don't have to go through the hassle of getting it back from the transporter).
