Vintage Port 1908 to 1939

Other Vintages
1908 - 1939  1940 - 1955  1957 - 1990  Birthdays & Anniversaries 

Port Labels
It is unusual for old vintage port to have original labels because the bottles were stored for many years in damp conditions. If not specifically mentioned, pre 1970 ports have our neutral black & white labels for identification (marked P/L in the list). From 1970 all ports, unless otherwise stated, have original labels.

New Corks
Where necessary corks which are showing signs of seepage through old age have been replaced by us. The levels remain as they are and have not been topped up with any other Port or vintage. These are clearly identified and, because of this, the price has been adjusted.
