Looks like the bottles would cost GBP200 each. I've never shipped from Paris so no idea of cost and how that works.
There's also another Noval 31 there.
Except for that Noval, looks like wine is cheaper over there (even the Bordeaux!

I don't suppose anyone fancies sharing the 5 botles of this for sale at Christies Paris on 29 November?

No, just the old cliche "base of neck or better". Slightly damaged labels (That means v. good labels for that age, or maybe replacements.) From a private collection.
Considering my zero experience of buying in France may be best left alone. If they were in England I'd phone up and ask for more info.

Stuart,
I agree with Derek. Don't give up on bottles of this age, so easily. In another decade or two, all of these oldies will be just memories as more Port lovers are born. Grab 'em as I am sure you'll find worthy homes amongst the Forumites!
