For The Love Of Port

8 x 1983 Graham VP (half-bottles) @ $30/per on WineBid (premium included)

1978 Croft Roeda for $43 all in (but shipping)...

1998 Graham's Malvedos (5x)

I was travelling in the UK and picked up two bottles of the 2000 Fonseca VP for £49.20 btl all up to bring back home to NZ.

Quinta D. Vale Dona Maria Reserve Lot 10 Port. I've had the 2006 version which was basically his declassified VP. Anyone tried this 2010 version yet?

Apparently I bought some 1985 Gould Campbell from WTSO while I was in London. I don't remember doing it, but it arrived at my wife's office.

Some people talk in their sleep. Some people sleepwalk. I apparently purchase Port while sleeping.

($60/bottle isn't bad, but also isn't amazing. Bottles are in perfect condition, though, so I'm glad I got 'em.)

That sounds familiar... I don't have my TN book with me, but we might have had it on the Harvest Tour this year? I'll check when I get home.

From the Port Harvest Tour:

1 x NV Ramos Pinto 30 year old
1 x NV Bulas 20 year old
2 x 2000 Quinta do Vale Meao Vintage Port

Just grabbed 3 lingering bottles of 2011 Quinta de Vargellas Vinha Velha for $154 per. Wish they had more.

Just buy 18xbottles Quinta do Noval Vintage 2012 and 1x Quinta do Noval Nacional Vintage 2004

One bottle of 2004 Quinta do Noval Nacional.

These just arrived:

4 x 1985 Fonseca
1 x 1985 Fonseca (scuffed label)
1 x 1970 Fonseca (BB&R)

And I just got tracking notices for these two orders:

1 x 1937 Noval Colheita

1 x 1960 Graham
2 x 2011 Graham

Apparently I've been doing a lot of sleep-buying lately. Actually I do remember all three of these orders, but had forgotten that I'd asked for delayed shipment due to weather and then the Port Harvest Tour.

Now I just need to find reasonably priced bottles of G42 and G45 to complete my Graham vertical from WWII to present. As if.

1 x 1984 Kopke Colheita
2 x 1974 Kopke Colheita
3 x 1964 Kopke Colheita
1 x 1961 Kopke Colheita
5 x 1952 Kopke Colheita

Please dont tell Roy, or Andy, or David, og Al, og Glenn, or Eric, or Bradley,or Any other tawnyfreaks....But I just replaced the Niepoort Colheita 1935, witch Roy and I shared some weeks ago - with a new bottle from the same House, and same year Niepoort my long lost friend...

Allan

4x 1963 Warre's
1x 2011 Taylor 3L

Allan,

Like you didn't still have enough old bottles of Niepoort Colheitas lying around?

This arrived today. Interesting bottle/label, as it's nothing like my other N37 Colheitas. It's a plain bottle (no moulded "Noval") with a black label. Might be due to the fact that it was bottled in 2000 vs 2008 for my other ones.

No, but when Glenn mentioned we may have had this on our recent PHT, what we actually had was the Lot #12. I really liked it quite a bit.

Thanks. I'm sure mine will be opened in the coming weeks. So I'll report back on it once I give it a go.
