DR 2010 white colheita, so much more than an easy summer sipper!

Re: What have you opened this week?

Opened a JH Andresen for a guest who will be coming on this year's 20th Anniversary PHT2. It was their 40 year old Tawny and such a classy Port. So good and pure. That's a great Tawny indeed! I bought a few bottles during our 2023 PHT2 visit to Andresen (2023 botling), and cherish the orphan in my ...

Re: What have you opened this week?

Quevedo reserve lagrima white. Normally nice in a mix with tonic and mint or prosecco on a warm, sunny afternoon. This time as an alternative for a sauternes or monbazillac to accompany our goose liver/foie gras. A delightful combination!

Re: What Port(s) have you purchased this week?

That looks like a great haul, indeed. I do love DR and Brunheda. Just a quick question: on my first PHT2 in 2021 we also visited Brunheda, where I a.o. bought two bottles of their very old tawny Cask 51. It is clearly a T :lol:, but where would you place it age wise? According to my notes from that...

Re: What have you opened this week?

From Roy's 2025 buying opportunity: NV Enólogo 10-Year-Old White Port, an easy drinker. Too bad it's only available in 0,5l bottles, as Marguérite and I would not have mind to have another tasty refill by the end of the evening. Next time we'll open a S. Leonardo's 10-Year-Old White Port as well for...

Re: What Port(s) have you purchased this week?

2x OWC-6 Calem 1997 (my bid was very low and I had not expected to win both lots) In 2017 we held a 1997 horizontal blind tasting with 30 1997 VPs and the Cálem was my surprising favorite, and was well liked by just about everyone. I hope those bottles are still doing just as well. Yesterday I open...

Re: What Port(s) have you purchased this week?

That is a VERY nice haul. Did you taste the 3 Brunheda's on your just completed tour? How were they? And what are the ages of the VVO White and the T6a? Yep, tasted all of these and a couple more that were above my pay grade. :lol: As with many things at Brunheda, the exact ages mostly aren't known...

As there was no one at home tonight to share, I opened a 0,375 LBV Niepoort 2015. I just found out that the amount of sediment is negligible [cheers.gif]

Yesterday we came home late after attending Bach’s St. John Passion, performed by my wife Marguérite and her choir. We doubled the enjoyment with a midnight bottle of Poças Bonificador!
