For me (us, as my wife tasted them too) it was a super experience (summer 2016, at the Quevedo Lodge, being toured around by Claudia, as Oscar was on vacation [cheers.gif] ).

1986 Quinta do Panascal VP After removing the aluminium capsule it became clear the bottle had suffered from some leaking. The capsule had kept the leaking all underneath, the rest of the selo was still clear white. I'll post a little pic of it. At first, I was worried that the bottle would be affec...
