For The Love Of Port

Dear Jan from Randers
Do You have a picture of the bottle?

Are You sure it marks XX and not VV?

Greetings from a fellow Dane!

Sometime it takes a longer time to wait, when the stuff You are waiting for is really something [yahoo.gif] Paid these 3 bottles more than 5 weeks ago in Portugal...and finalIy. The 1995 bottling of the Niepoort Colheita 1937 is for me somewhat special! All of the epic Niepoort Colheitas where bottl...

Did I mention, that later this summer, I am going to taste 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10 different Garrafeiras [cheers.gif] That is going to be epic... And staying with Niepoort (1934 or 1935), in my opinion the 1935 Colheita is the better one. And the Colheita celebrating the Birth of Rolf from 1927 is also...

The bottle is intact. Only some old wax is sitting on top of the cork. Still dry...

I am not a bottle-expert. The bottom is flat, with some Numbers and letters...

The photo dosnt show much

It will be interesting to see what happens with the Douro Boys now as a result of this. I always had the feeling that Dirk was the driving force behind the group so it will be interesting to see whether the group continues and whether Niepoort remains involved. The Douro Boys - Dirk inclusive where...

Unbeliveble.
But true...I just read the german paper.
Bonnes chance to Niepoort

A close up of the cork. Can't get it any better. The cork shows: Vintage 1937
Just a little left of the sealingwax.

My bottle does not have 'the string'.

Got this Shepherd's Vintage 1937 in the Post today. Tried to google some info. Only help was some links to older auctions, AND a link to this old thread here in FTLOP....

Allways funny to see the writing 'Vintage matured in cask'....

No bottling date on the bottle.

There was a topic earlier about 'Your favorite Year for Port'. And some did mention 1937.... The 1937 was bottled in 1978 and the 1970 (which is a rare bird this far north) was bottled in 1992. And speeking of Colheitas from 1937. I have had Niepoorts bottling (from the 1970s) on several occasions. ...

And one bottle for the 'feinschmeckers' One ancient extra dry White from Santhiago de Lago. I found three bottles in Portugal. Opend the one on thursday, tasted it, and let it sit on the counter (open) poured a glass two days later to a Portfriend. Allmost undrinkable for the first 1/2 hour. It had ...

My recent buy, two sisters from Andresen. I remember Roy speaking highly about the 1970 Colheita.

And the 1937 is a Classic Year.

3 bottles went down to celebrate pentacosta. 1966 Barros Colheita; a little on the sweet side 30 YO Sandeman bottled in 1980; a fantastic bottle! Italian bottling, a tappit hen from 'The Douro-shippers"; My guess an 50 year old Tawny. Still alive and fresh. I enjoy, when the older bottlings tur...

LORT-MERDE-SHIT......

Sorry for my French......another fake Portvine. This time bought in France.
Could a DOW's 1927 be a fantastic Wine?

Yes, But have You ever seen it with a T-stopper......

What is wrong with the World!

How Can we fight this madness?

Two old bottlings of Taylor 30 YO (1973)
One funny White Tawny from Wiese & Krohn,
And one of my alltime favorites, the very dry old from Niepoort.

Yes Bradley, on special occasions I drink other beverages.... The Pomerol was fresh and fruity. Tonight....again something special. I have been hunting this Moscatel for some time. With an old IVP seal, so well over 40 yeats old. First time for me...looking forward. The house of Niepoort shows it ab...

Boys night yesterday. Me and my Best buddy!
The Fonseca showed wonderfully, bit the Directors Port, bottled in 1971 (and matured in oak 'nearly' half a century) was a monster of a Tawny.
This is the third time for me with this Martinez, and it truely is an amazing port!

Andy, I understand why You are suspiscious. The bottle I just opend tonight, where bought more than a year ago - from the same auctionhouse. I Dont remember the Price, but it was not more than 65$ I only got it, because it is Roy´s year of birth... But, I have been drinking more than 100 old Tawnies...

Talkin about 'every day' ports. This is one of them

Sabe a quem Sabe.

Not really ready to open this Wine, But I had to figure out, if it was a fake bottle.

It was'nt
very smooth, lovely nose, a little sweet and creamy. Just the Way I like them.

Had it saved for Roy some day being back in town [help.gif

I have seen the bottles! They are not similar to all the fakes I ran in to... I think the bottles are ok....and just Coming back.....went to my portcabinet, and - sorry Roy - this was for You, and Your next visit to Denmark....pulled out one of the posted bottles, this one a 1957. I know, it looks s...
