oowee Posted December 17, 2020 Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 Still a bit of a bargain but 4.5l (6 bottles)is a lot of port. The retailer said the jumbo-sized Rehoboam bottle, which can serve around 90 50ml servings, was comparable to a similar sized bottle at Harvey Nichols, which is retailing for £265.

TIGHTCHOKE Posted December 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 Last couple of sessions we've had involved 3 bottles. Sometimes LBV but often proper vintage stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oowee Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 Jealous of all of them. Christmas is not the same without a few glasses of port. Have you tried that bittle yet @TIGHTCHOKE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted December 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 No that will be used in rotation, I have two of those. But the LBVs will be used up first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Packed into the smallest of cornish cottages. Hardly a drink on sight. 8 mile walk this morning along cliff tops, it's blowing a gale. Even dog was happy to be back.
