For The Love Of Port

Well, this was an interesting read. Imagine, a Charles Krug "Port" from 1976 still alive, drinking well and with more time ahead of it. Who would have thought? Gives me hope for my bottle of 1988 Beringer Cabernet Port - surely it too will need more time. Mahmoud. I am a novice when it co...

He warre's was not bad. I did notice a purple stain on top of the cork under the foil. I was not sure if this was from leakage or the bottle being over heated. The cork fell apart when I tried to remove it and was completely dry. I did not see any streaking in the cork that would make me think it s...

2003 warre's LBV (unfiltered)
2008 Quinta di Noval (unfiltered)

Got both to try now. I am looking for a good deal that can be laid down and make a name de drinker down the road.

Sorry, I thought I posted the age. The port was bottled March of 1976. This was based on the serial number printed on the bottle I had at home.

Ok, so another update. I was cleaning out more of my fathers stuff and found another case of the same port. Since the port was in the California Bay Area, I had already planned a trip to Napa to taste some California ports. I went with my friend Deano from Scribble Scribble wines. (Shameless plug fo...

Yes, the Mondavi reserve are great. I have a chance to do a free tasting of some of their reserves when I was out here a few years back, a friend of my wife was working at the winery at the time. On another note a friend recommended calling them and giving them the serial number. I did his and talke...

Yes, resizing worked. I guess I will just be forced to drink it. I am sure I can choke it down. I may open a bottle with some wine buddies and have them help me write a review.

Thanks, while I am sure I will have no problem drinking it it will probably have a problem writing about it, I don't know the proper terminology. From the best I could find from talking to people Charles Krug did not release this port it was an in house product that was only given to friends. I don'...

not sure why it is only showing half the picture.

I am new to the forum. I found a few bottles of port while cleaning up my fathers stuff. He does not drink anymore so he told me to take them home and drink them. Here is a picture of the label of this port. Here are my questions. 1. How old is this port? 2. Should I drink it now? 3. If I drink it a...
