For The Love Of Port

[/quote]I need to reach out to Noval etc again to see if they’d be willing to send me samples so I can add them to the review. Carlos Alves and his Port-making team at Sogevinus have been on a roll for a few years. I have been really surprised in the last few vintages when a blind tasting has sudden...

I've just opened (and posted tasting notes elsewhere) 2022 VPs from Dow Senhora da Ribeira, Vesuvio, Capela do Vesuvio, Quevedo, Niepoort, Vargellas, Fonseca Guimaraens, Taylor Sentinels, Sandeman Seixo, Offley, Fonseca Porto, Barros, Burmester, Calem and Kopke São Luíz. Consistently excellent and ...

According to Vinho Grandes Escolhas (and confirmed by others) Graham launches a Quinta do Tua Vinhas Velhas VP 2022. Only 6600 bottles have been produced. Tua is an excellent vineyard, directly east of Malvedos and across the river Tua. Very cool they finally bottled it on its own. It may be cool t...

Unfortunately their prices do not include VAT. So add another 23% to this price (EC countries only). Sorry, but that is incorrect! All their prices include VAT and I am completely sure: I'm a regular customer of GN !! My apologies Paul, I was incorrect. I was mislead by the text on the first page o...

US$ 225?? That was a bargain! Lowest price in Europe (including appr. 20% VAT/Sales Tax) was around US$ 300. I bought nine bottles in three different batches and paid between US$ 300 and US$ 325 each. On Winesearcher one can still find them for this price in the UK, Denmark and Portugal. There is s...

1x Noval Nacional 2016 at auction 3x Graham's Stone Terraces 2021 Did the price of Stone Terraces essentially double for you, too? Suggested retail price in the US increased from $225 to $545! US$ 225?? That was a bargain! Lowest price in Europe (including appr. 20% VAT/Sales Tax) was around US$ 30...

I am starting to figure out what to buy for my daughter as it seems to be slim pickings from 2021. Are there any more producers with a 2021 VP not on this list? I do prefer full blown VP's. Added Quevedo Quinta de São Luiz from Kopke (12,133 bottles, 600 magnums) Quinta do Arnozelo from Burmester (...

I used to love this LBV! Have you had it before, and did this seem typical to you? I recall it being much better than 88 points, but it's been quite a while since I've had one. So did I !! I had it about 12 (!!) times between 2012 and 2018 and my lowest score was 92, a few times 93 and all others 9...

The “rumour” is true. The sale by the family has happened. Miguel has left his job at Quinta do Mourão and is looking for his next project. According to Revista de Vinhos: Falua enters the Douro After the Tagus and Vinhos Verdes, Falua extends its operation to the Douro Demarcated Region, where it ...
