2000 Taylor Fladgate LBV Port
Came back to my 2000LBV two days after opening it. Very odd. There seems to be almost no nose to it. All I can smell is alchohol, with a very slight hint of fruit, but almost none. Very different than when it was first opened. On first sip, it was very hot, very strong alcohol flavor, and little els...

2000 Taylor Fladgate LBV Port
This is my first tasting note. It is also my first time trying the Taylor 2000 LBV. The color is a very dark ruby or garnet color, all the way to the edge of the glass. It smells plesently slightly sweet, like a blackberry jam, and of something spicy. It has a fairly strong fruit taste to it, with m...

Has anyone done a Port Wine and Glass tasting?
Last night I got the opportunity to do an amazing and educational wine and glass tasting. The experiment was to taste 4 different wines (Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Cabernet), across 5 different Ridel glasses (Cabernet glass, Chardonnay glass, Pinot Noir glass, Riesling glass, and a bad ...

1986 Smith Woodhouse Colheita: Color is brick red and crystal clear, turning slightly yellow on the edges. The nose is plesently strong, smelling of honey, orange and wallnuts. The flavor is also strong, but not of ancohol...it is not very hot at all. It is also very short on the tongue after you sw...

THis sounds like an interesting idea. It also sounds like something that would take a lot of man hours, complete dedication, and a fair amount of capital to pull off. The amount of work and dedication to successfully put to gether this type of venture smells more like an investment than a hobby. Peo...

2000 C. da Silva "Presidential LBV
This seemed like a good deal, but I though I'd throw it out to you all just to make sure. K&L Wines has 2000 C. da Silva "Presidential LBV for $7.99 for a 750ml (http://www.klwines.com/product.asp?sku=1026471) This seems like a good deal, but I've never had this LBV. Is this LBV worth that ...

* Do you see many of them on the shelves or do you really have to shop for them? Living in Seattle, I see a ton of Kopka and Rocha Colheita at most shops that carry ports. The only other brand I've seen here is Royal Oporto, but only at one shop. If I want to try any thing else, I have to order it....

I just opened a bottle of this tonight. This post made me seek out an Infantado as I'm a big fan of reds with lots of good spices, so I figured why not see what a port with big spices is like. I decanted it for 2 hours before I tried it. The color is deep, deep, dark purple, and lightening only slig...
