For The Love Of Port

well if you know parkers system then...well most seem to stick to that style of 100 point system including Roy (although the differences between the points are up to the person) some here on this board also use a 10? point system (Tom's scale?) which I'm not familiar with but you can dig deep into t...

wooo can't wait

ahahahahahahahaha
hope you feel better ^_^ oh and try the Otima 20yr which is pretty nice

How did it taste?

Fresh Off the Boat? hehe

Hey Jeff

Have you tried any Warre's VP? They are not as big a name as Fonseca/Taylor/Noval but they are quite tasty and quite affordable. I've got a bunch from assorted vintages.

*Akira looks around at everyone hugging their precious 1 bottle of port...then he sees Derek with a nice wooden box with a 6pack of 94 Vesuvio* :lick:
If its Desert Island style... Quantity > Quality :twisted:

Does that mean that even rubbish port after 30-40yrs becomes so mellowed out that its quite drinkable? (Just like it seems that a lot of people score very old port pretty highly...Is that because of the bias of "age"?)

I'd agree from what I've seen also that...its more common to see VP than LBV to a certain extent

cmon guys show us your cellars :twisted:

well...you could let us beta test it if you want :twisted: its always quicker for the masses to find the bugs than the developer(s)

yeah hehe the price is for either one of those bottles honestly...but for those in the USA...remember you gotta add bottle cost+ flight to the UK + hotel cost + bad exchange rate= pretty pricey...unless Alex or JD are willing to put us up to save a few pennies hehe ^_^

Its not a Nebuchadnezzar but 20-20 wines in Cali has a double-mag of the 1896 Dow

I guess 2005 was a good year all around all over...I picked up a whole buncha German Rieslings which are great also in 05

I'm really curious how 06 will come out tho since I got married last year... gonna need to pick up a whole bunch of port and
assorted stuff to celebrate thru the years. :)

very cool looking bottle hope you kept it

Ouch 25 years standing up...I'd be scared to turn them on their side also specially with what happened to the first cork you pulled out(in)

I don't have any full OWC cases of port but I would imagine like any other wine thats sealed with a cork...its good to keep the cork moist(unless your going to drink it soon)...I would make sure all your ports were sleeping horizontaly

A friend of mine is bringing over a bottle of port that he got as a gift from his friend who went to Peru...and bought it near machu picchu..haven't tasted it yet and I'm kinda scared but I'll let you guys know hehe

ahaha Roy's gonna be haunting our port cellars :shock: I'm not changing any diapers at the hospice! although I'd be willing to hook up your port IV drips heheh...but the question is could we afford the 2023-24 vintages withought having to sell our kidneys... In my extremely limited experience(only t...

I'll be around 40yrs from now (hopefully heh) I'll let you know who won the debate
