For The Love Of Port

Yesterday I was in Amsterdam for the Vintage Port Day, from the Symington Family. Great event! And we got to taste a vertical of Stone Terraces, including the 2021. The tropical fruit aroma was realy special, and the overal quality was amazing. https://scontent-ams2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/3466...

Small update, Eurofins found no traces of synthetical ethanol in the port of Kopke. https://mcusercontent.com/818fee525e44100c48b2f4479/files/a54c6d60-109e-ce8c-d64f-4a116d3bc244/Statement_Eurofins_Kopke.pdf?utm_source=Wijnhandel+van+Ouwerkerk&utm_campaign=4d3ff3dfe4-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2021_04_19_09...

A Ramos Pinto 1983 Vintage Port. Realy positive suprised about this port!

It appears that the study was published this past November. Was their any official response from the Producers named in the study? The last URL i posted was the reply from Sogevinus The reply's by the others in Dutch: https://www.maxmeldpunt.nl/wp-content/uploads/Wederhoor-portproducenten.pdf The p...

That was a big thing here yesterday. The report by the University of Groningen in Dutch https://www.maxmeldpunt.nl/wp-content/uploads/14C-Port-onderzoek_toegelicht_v2-gecomprimeerd.pdf show's that mostly B-brands and house-brands are not as old as they say. The Niepoort 10 year old was also on the l...

If you can please post a tasting note (however brief) in the tasting note section so others can easily find it in the future.

I tasted the port quickly, so I did not make any tasting notes. This thread was more about the 2018 Vintage Port in general.

Kopke the first one to be official? Tasted it today, good quality. Not as concentrated as the 2017, but still really nice. ---- Updated list declared 2018 vintage ports: Barros Burmester Quinta do Arnozelo Calem Cockburn Quinta dos Canais (late release) Croft Quinta Roeda Dow’s Quinta da Senhore da ...

1 bottle of Ramos Pinto Vintage Port 1983 in the original cardboard box

Thank for all the comments.

I decided not to bid on the bottle. The risk is just to big and the shape of the bottle isn't that great.

I am looking into a special bottle, but i have no experience with a Noval Nacional form this vintage. Pricing is decent, so what to do?

Tasted it twice, an amazing colheita port. The best one i have tasted from Graham's.
We got our stock (3 bottles) 1 month ago and sold out directly, luckely we will get a few more in a few weeks.
