For The Love Of Port

Home again after a fantastic afternoon with this very nice and easygoing Portuguese Tawny-maker. The line-up: 10 year old White 2000 Vintage Tawny 10YO Tawny 20YO Tawny 30YO Tawny 40YO And for dessert 2 glasses of: Tawny 60YO This guy makes some marvelous Ports! For startes the White Tawny was amazi...

Seeing All 10 bottles, makes it easy to discover the counterfeit bottles, But Imagine having just one bottle, then it could have been impossible.

I took a picture of my fake ports.. if the file is to Big, then You Andy Can moderate?

I bought 10 bottles

If You want to check out the rest, they Can be found on the facebooksite owned by:
Oportunity Leiloes, check their October auction.

In the future, i will pay a lot more attention.

1) i got my Money to day! After struggling for a long time. They wanted just to 'within 2 Month, to buy in their auctionhouse for the amount, that I purchased. 2) I made a promise, that I would contact IVDP and start a shitstorm on their Facebook-site 3) and that the Port-World is very small, and th...

Yes! This comming Saturday is the Quinta do Mourão tasting with Mr. Braga in Copenhagen.

Will let You know about the 60 year old Lady!

I will try not to 'interrupt' Your discussion. (My knowledge and english writing dosnt do the topic credit) When I got into port, some years ago, my Portmentor (the Danish importeur of Niepoort...) told me (the younger VP's) should be rated: 1) 1963 2) 1955 3) 1994 Personally after trying some diffe...

Came across some old TWAIOA from Niepoort. Bottled in 1978. I just had to get them... And YES they are still very pleasant! Tried one last year. And they are smooth like an old Colheita. Allan, you never cease to amaze with your finds of old tawny. If only they were so easy to find on this continen...

And YES they are still very pleasant!

Tried one last year. And they are smooth like an old Colheita.

The bottle dosnt say. But my guess is a 1 liter bottle.
I put it on the scale, and it showed 1,4 kg. Another dumpy bottle of Niepoort weighs 1.25 kg.

Yes! today one of my port-wishes for 2016 came through.

A beautiful bottle of the 1942 Niepoort.

Found in Germany for € 500

However by ratings of Vintage Ports I have a tie for 1948 Fonseca, 1931 Noval and 1945 Croft. I gave this weeks of thought and can't pick a favorite as all 3 showed in top form and any of those would be fine to sip on my death bed in a few decades. Roy, I wish You a looong great life. My Portmentor...

Just have to mention, that the Niepoort 05 opend yesterday, some 30 hours ago, has been enjoyed tonight.
Still very fruity, But the tannins "has left the building".

A very pleasant Young VP.

Friday night is Allways a huge Portcelebration My beautiful daugther and lovely girlfriend....the two loves of my live, deserved something nice. Found a leeking bottle of 1935 Colheita from the house of Constantino's in my portfridge. And surprisingly a leeking bottle of Niepoorts 2005 VP. Opend bot...

"Andy Velebil": That's a lot of fake Port. I Can confirm the list of counterfeit Portwines! I Am starting my own "Crusade". Primarely on eBay, but also on Portuguese websites. Every time I see ports from the above mentioned list, I Write them an e-mail, and tell them NOT to sell....

My New Year's port took the price, as the Best port consumed in 2015, AND is now on top of my All-time Portlist. The Niepoort Colheita 1900 bottled in 1972. I am not good at describing ports, But the Nose was the most komplex I've ever experienced. Wowfactor was lid.... My thoughts and thanks goes t...

Well, tomorrow night is one of my Port-highlights of the Year. Over the years this special night, has provided me with super Vinho do Portos. And tomorrow will be no exception. 4 people, so 2 bottles should be enough. I hope that a least one bottle will get Into my top 3 list for consumed Ports in 2...

Please! Let it be a legit bottle.
It would be very frustating to buy ordinary bottles without being 100% sure.

Looking forward to the answer from Burmester.

Andy and Bradley. Or is it rather Check and Chong

Here I find the perhaps first Crusted port in history. Being made by the most Holy of All grapes, the 1931 harvest.

If I ever find You guys.........I will

All the Best from the Danish

This is the front.. Couldnt fit it in...

[quote="Andy Velebil"] Crusted Ports can be referred to as "I've got some left over stuff not good enough for VP, what do i do with it, I know lets blend some together and get rid of it." Of course, that's a satirical comment but is it far off? Sorry Andy..... [cheers.gif] I just...
