For The Love Of Port

1 x Taylors LBV 2005 (bought @ 13€ in Germany)
3 x Porto Rocha Vintage 2003 (13€ on offer)
12 x Porto Rocha Vintage 1997 (10,6€ @ 12 bottles on offer)

Having read Rune's tasting notes it was with much anticipation I opened this bottle... It was purchashed a couple of days ago at the local winedealer before reading Rune's notes... Here's what I get from it: Decanted for 8 hours - no sediment Colour: Very deep red Nose: Freshly crushed grapes, an im...

Sounds great! Do you know if it is a filtered or unfiltered (aka Tradicional) LBV? I don't remember any filtered/unfiltered designation on the label, Glenn. It hasn't been in bottle very long, and I would think it would be another year or two at least before you would "have to" decant off...

I'll join John on cheering for the Niepoort 2005

12 x Porto Rocha Vintage 2003 together with a couple of friends

this afternoon a Quinta Do Tedo LBV 2003

Initial impressions upon decanting is that this is one of those über fruity sweet ones... which I happen to like very much

1 x Quinta do Tedo LBV 2001
1 x Quinta do Tedo LBV 2003

Cheers,

Tom, First, what you explain about VP's in general I already got down - but thanks anyway :-) Second, I hope laying them down for a few months solves the problem. However, I think this cloudyness is not one caused by shake/transportation - either it's natural in the Burmester VP91 or the only thing ...

I recently bought 12 bottles of the Burmester Vintage 1991 which was shipped to me in cold weather conditions (0celcius - 10celcius, that's 32F - 14F) I've opened 2 bottles by now, and both have been very clouded. One was opened shortly (1day) after recieving the bottles, the other after a week. Now...

Looking back at older posts I stubled across this and feel I need to leave a comment... As I'v mentioned before, I been involved with whisky for a good decade now. I'm heading one of the largest whisky clubs in Denmark and travelling to Scotland on a regular basis to meet people in the industry and ...

Hi Claus, If you haven't looked at it, I wanted to point out that the FTLOP Tasting Note Database is a great resource for checking out various wine and their progression. http://www.fortheloveofport.com/tndb/search_results.php?wine=vista_alegre_LBV The 1999 LBV is a great example. I tasted that win...
