Re: What have you opened this week?
1980 Ramos Pinto VP - Nothing special. 83 & 85 are better vintages for sure. Even after a few days the '80 RP was kind of dull and uninteresting.

Did not watch the big game, but finished an '85 Dow we had opened a few days earlier.

Re: Decanting port
The big difference is that I ALWAYS keep the decanter at cellar or fridge temperature if it's not going to be drunk that evening. A friend does the same in the fridge, but I am not such a fan of it.

1985 Dow Vintage on Saturday night. Elys guessed the decade after a couple of hints and then said "Dow". I think she was throwing out the first brand that came to mind. Drank half on pop and pour. Hope to finish it tonight.

Re: What have you opened this week?
Inspired by Glenn’s 60th anniversary tasting, I opened a bottle of Ramos Pinto 1964 at the weekend. The general view was that it was drinkable but not great. Also opened at the weekend were a bottle of Ferreira 1854 and a half bottle of the Niepoort/van Zeller 1853 Dom Pedro colheita bottled in 200...

1970 Fonseca VP last night. Just a glass or two. Won't get back to until Thursday, unless the wife finishes it before then.

2012 Mouchao "Sobremesa Dessert Tonel Aged" A top notch ruby reserve style port. Worth looking for next time at liquor store. But from Alentejo, so not a Port ;-) I have a bottle of the 2015, "Pipe Aged - Early Bottled." I really enjoyed one of these while there, so I brought on...

Re: 1937 Hooper Colheita - Question about old bottlings
The color is not very inspiring. My guess it's going to taste from poor to simple at best. Cool bottle.

If you're ever in the metro west Boston area I will open a bottle of Terra Feita for you.Mike J. W. wrote: ↑Thu Jul 18, 2024 6:56 am I have never seen nor tasted a Terra Feita. And they're impossible to find in the US. If anyone has a stash though I'm up for a tasting as well.

2011 Dow LBV. Became thin after 4 days in the decanter. Was hoping for better. Amazing amount of sediment when first decanted.

Re: What Portuguese wines have you opened this week
2008 Niepoort Charme is planned for Friday. I am down to a couple of bottles of this vintage.
Picking up bacalau (~2lb) today or tomorrow so it can soak and be ready for Friday.
