Re: 2021 Vintage Port declaration

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...

Re: Tawny’s True Age Under Fire

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...

1945 Niepoort Vintage Port

https://www.vinhodoporto.nl/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/1945.jpg I bought this bottle last year at auction for a good price. Bottle looked really nice and filling level was perfect.

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.

Re: To buy or not to buy

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.

To buy or not to buy

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?
