Currently at $215 (no premium at K&L).

It's late bottled. Bottled in 1963.

Even more unique then, or perhaps common then and not so much now. I've seen Taylor LBV, and I've seen Taylor Quinta de Vargellas. But I had never seen Taylor Quinta de Vargellas LBV prior to this bottle.

Any Douro bake on that bottle? Have had mixed results with older Vargellas bottlings.

How much life would a 1958 LBV have in it now?

I see it traded at $215, and I gather with no buyer's premium.

1958, does anybody here have an opinion on that vintage? It's not mentioned very often, anyway.

Not a great vintage, but not horrible either. Personally, at that price an easy pass for me.
