Yes. Mr Banks was one of two places I read rave reviews of it - within 
the space of about a week, then on the weekend following, found myself
in a place which had it on the wine list. So I had to try it...

Berry Bros and Rudd (http://www.bbr.com) have it in stock, usually
for about 13 pounds per bottle. Not sure if you can just wander in to
their St James Street store and pick up a bottle or two, but that seems
likely. I'd say it was a spectacular bargain at that price.
