Nice! Missed that one. Are you free to say what you paid? Just curious what full price is on the '52 these days.
His price should be around $200 or so given the 50% off.

I do wish I had bought a bottle or two of the special edition 1965 colheita. My one regret, but at that point I thought I would fill my bag with other bottles.

1 x 2009 Warre's Vintage Port
This is the special bottling commemorating the Liberation of Oporto. I have never seen a single bottle of this, so I picked one up in the Graham's Port Lodge.

Yes, I planned to fill about half of it with S Leonardo Tawny Ports.

Had you bought into the FTLOP buyer's op, you would have certainly saved money.

Some have limited markets, but many, including the one under discussion here, have been available in Europe.

I looked around a few European sites and found several of these, Call me impressed at the deal you were able to get. It's a shame I wasn't around back then. I suppose I can hope for an "Introductory" sale price at retail when they launch? If not, now that I'm a subscriber, there is always next time.
In the meantime I'm happy with getting 6x 750ml Dow's 1985 K&L auction $270/ no buyers premium. The other half of this case is up now. I figured for $45 a bottle it makes a great "go to" bottle for current drinking. Trying to put together a cellar is a lot of fun, but expensive. Since I've joined FTLOP, 70 bottles(13 vintages 1963-2008), of IDVP have been added to my now overflowing wine cooler. I blame the enablers...

At that price is was barely more than an LBV!
I got 'em for short-term cellar defender-style drinking.

Ah. I see. Something to drink while you eye up that lousy port which is blocking up so much of your wine cabinet, called Stone Dresses or something like that.

Yes!
Don't worry, I didn't
actually corner the market. I only own 0.4% of production.
