information on a vintage porto

Post by paulacosta »

Hi Roy,
Im new at this, however after doing a little search I came across your web page and maybe you can give us some advice. We have a Burmester porto vintage 1935, we have no idea if this has any value in any way. what do you suggest.
Regards,
Paula

Hi Paula,
The value will depend on the status/condition of the bottle, how has it been stored, etc, etc.
Question: Is it a Vintage or a Colheita Port??

Hi Mario,
The bottle is sealed and has been stored in a pantry, its a vintage from 1935 and bottled in 1938.

Paula,

You have me stumped. I have verified that the 1935 Burmester was produced, but can not find any reference to it being sold anytime recently so I could offer up no more than a guestimate of $350-500 USD if the bottle had been stored in excellent condition. Significantly less, if it has not been in temperature controlled conditions.

Sorry I can't be more help, but hopefully someone else here may have seen it at auction somewhere.

I hope you won't be just a one hit wonder and will continue to visit here once in awhile. Welcome to the Forum!
