10 years ago I bought six bottles of Bullers 69, 70, 71, 73, 74, 75 vintage port as a collection in a wooden box sealed with a red wax stamp from an estate auction.
Would anyone know what the value of the port in the presentation box would be.
It is not for sale and will never part with it as I intend to enjoy every moutful when I retire
Just curious.
Cheers

Not a box set but probably a good guide, hope it's not too disapointing

Thanks, that's a very good guide. Price is very low but I'm hoping the contents of the bottles are worth more when the time comes for me to enjoy them
I paid $50 for the box.

Natalie, these types of bottles are worth very little compared to the value of the wine in the bottle.
Typically you could expect $25-30 bottle at most, the packaging is worth next to nothing unfortunately.
The good news is, you can drink them from now and they'll probably be most enjoyable and you can do it without guilt knowing they're not hugely valuable.
I'd suggest you don't leave it much longer before drinking them or they might become dry and unpleasant. Maybe drink the 1969 this winter and if it's still ok, drink the next vintage next year etc etc.
Hope they're goodies
