Nice Haul!!

Thanks John!
I was glad to get my hands on these great botles. They are all in pristine shape (formerly owned by a wine enthousiast with winecellar which makes for the excellent storage!), and got them at quite a fair price (just under €55 a bottle, which in my part of the world is excellent).

I'd call those pretty good in my part of the world as well, and some of my favorites too!

WOW!! Now that's what I call buying some Port!!

And, I'm getting rather thirsty just looking at that bottle at the moment too

(not to mention, also a little jealous

)

I just added an old note, which isn't all that detailed. But we had one of these at the first

gala in early 2009 and I just loved the aromas.

I had the Niepoort vintage 1960 last Christmas. A very pleasent experience...
My friend and I had a second bottle, But it was totally vaporised. Not a single drop of juice was in the bottle....

But Then again Luckily, we had the first bottle

One bottle of over 40 years Taylor bottled in 1980.

Looking gooood.

I dont know with You Guys, But in my terms, Niepoort is the Best, But old Tawnys from Taylor are not so bad either

Allan

PS.
And one bottle of Wiese and Krohn with the old IVP selo. The third time I have had this bottle. And amazing every time.
