$125 in the U.S. market
Without going into opportunity cost or storage expense, makes me happy for the bottles that I bought for $35 back in 2010.

Lol, I would say so. Sadly, I have no 2000 Sandeman VP, but at the new price I will continue to have none. I do have two 2000 Sandeman Vau Vintage and one 2000 Sandeman LBV's, so there's that at least.

Eh, that seems to be about the going rate for ex-cellars bottles at that age. I have some 2003 Graham and some 1995 Vesuvio on order for prices in that neighborhood. I think the Graham was more than that, actually.

I had both the Sandeman Vau from 99 and 2000. Sadly, the 2000 was corked.
But they both sold for $19.95 canadian upon release - but definitely early maturing.
Drink up.

Woof. There’s a LOT of Port out there that I think I’d rather have for less than $125. I’ve never been blown away by any of the Vau Vintage bottlings I’ve had though. Good, but nothing to send my socks flying. If they can sell it though, more power to them!
