Auction

Post by Justin K »

I just recently signed up so I am new to this. I am going to an auction next Tuesday in Ireland where there will be a small selection of V.P. I am not familiar with Delaforce. The vintages available are 2000, 1994 & 1975; also some of their Quintas 1995, 1984 & 1980. Anyone out their tried these and any idea of value £ or $.

Thanks in anticipation,

Justin,

Welcome to the Forum. You may not get this reply in time, but I hope you are able to. Whether you do or not, enjoy the auction.

Delaforce 2000 currently retails in the UK at GBP 242 + tax; the 1994 at GBP 278 + tax. I would not recommend the 1975 as I have not yet found a wine from this vintage that I enjoyed as much as the 2000 or 1994.

The Quinta da Corte 1995 goes for GBP 160 + tax and is great value at that price.

Good luck, and let us know what (if anything) you decide to buy.

Alex
