If you do not have a real sweet tooth, I would agree with Otto that the 4 putts tokaji aszu is a good place to start. I start with the 5 putts and prefer the 6 putts that I have had (Royal Tokaji, and Disznoko). I have a half-dozen of the 1993 Aszu Essencia, which is about 8 putts and about 7.5% alc...

I finished the Taylor '83 on 21 September. It improved during the first three days, but had little complexity. The alcohol was still a little evident when I finished it. I think that it may improve a little, so I'll keep the bottle that I have for a few years. I prefer the Graham's '83 to this one. ...

I bought a case of the 1985 Smith Woodhouse in 2002 and drank the last bottle a little over a year ago. They consistently had good fruit and the alcohol and tannins were well integrated and subdued. All in all, the 1985 was a good everyday port. I paid $35 a bottle. I would not pay over $50 at this ...

Thanks for the report that Barbeito's web site is up. I've been looking forward to this since early last year when the page said that they expected to have it up by May 2006. Now if they can add to the information on the vintages, that would be even better It will be interesting to see how some of t...

Looking at the list of 20-year tawnies that were reported for this month, I'm a little surprised not to see Taylor's. I've always liked the bottles that I've had and it seems to be well distributed. I did not see Burmester on the list, either. Is it widely available? The distributor in Massachesetts...
