The registered office is at 16 Hanover Square, London W1S 1HT c/o Paul O'Toole. 16 Hanover Square is a serviced office/ accommodation address, so not surprise that you were phoned from a Bromley number. From wine-searcher Palmer 09 can be bought from £2375 and Léoville-Las-Cases from £2155, so not a high mark up.<br /><br />However, as the company was only set up last year it has no en primeur track record, so I wouldn't buy from this company.Jim's Loirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06696024920441263899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1567042805993048802.post-15986744290565105842011-07-06T11:39:45.339+01:002011-07-06T11:39:45.339+01:00Jim

Their ‘pitch’ was that I should be buying en primeur 09 and 10 because they "know" tons will be drunk at the Olympics thus pushing prices up. <br /><br />Offered 09 plamer & 10 lascases at £2600 & £2250 respectively. Seems remarkably competitive, so as a start-up business I query where they’re making their money in en primeur. Certainly the almost laughable aggression of the salesman left me with a feeling of dread, so mindful of the horrid situation with BWTC thought it prudent to bring them to your readers’ attention. History repeating itself?<br /><br />Oh yeah - one more thing; they announced they were calling from Mayfair, but an 0208 Bromley number came up on my phone. <br /><br />Apologies for staying anonymous, but the guy I spoke for was SO aggressive I prefer not to leave my name.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
