For The Love Of Port

well I have just tasted it,As a port well quite frankly it is not no resemblence whatsoever apart from the alcohol level.As a rose however it is mediocre being kind that is an unbiased view.It smelt of vinegar then the familiar rose quite a watered down inoffensive nothing of any character on the pa...

I agree if you want profits I think an alco port might have been a better bet they sell in huge numbers in the uk.

Well David you must be that pickled now that you must be ready for a pyramid

It's interesting to read all the replies as to port houses only one thing matters in modern buisness and it would be foolish to think otherwise and thats profit.The more profit the better balanced with the consumer targeted.Somewhere along the line the 2000's for example have dropped in price has so...

I gave a bottle of this to my neighbour as it was her birth year

I've just tasted a Croft 85 of mine.

Is that price for the nine Cockburns 67 or for one

I have had many Burmester colheitas and found them good value however they have increased a lot in the last three years.My oldest 1900 my youngest one of the 90's

If I need to I use unbleached teabag paper and determine the layers on the age.

My father in law will be choosing from the stocks of port I have stored at his place.

Richard I was given a Romariz 63 colheita by a friend in the port trade does it have a not for retail sale label on. :)

To be honest I'm not a great fan but one I had a few months back I had to keep hold of my socks on tasting.The thing is I threw the bottle out and can't remember who made it.1994 unfiltered bottled 2000 and it began with an L and it was quite a long word :D ?It's the portzheimers again.It's came to ...

I don't mind SQVP's but the quality varies vastly from year to year even from the same mark but in general the price does not.I would like the shippers to put them out only when the quality is there.

I've had this one before Andy and would agree with you

It's the exact bottle they show up now and again normally at dutch auctions

Try this auction site for some rare ports and madeiras http://www.bruun-rasmussen.dk and I don't find it that well priced, port has shot up in price in the last couple of years but i'm still buying Sandeman 63 for £30 a bottle Croft 63 £35 to £40.All at auction in the UK and i'm bidding against wine...

Alan you finish it off god loves a tryer

Rozes is not established at all in the uk market the only time I've seen it on the shelves is in France

I picked one up about two years ago at auction for about £100.A bit expensive I thought but I wanted it.When tasted not a very good madeira in my limited opinion.

tell me
