I'm not a sommelier. Just a wine enthusiast, specially in Port Wines and I live in Portugal so I have the opportunity to taste a lot of Port Wines. I do not drink by the book rules. I think 12 hours decanting a 2011 vintage is too much. I drank lots of 2011 vintage with just 2-3 hours and looks just...

I think there are some issues with corks in the Portuguese wines of the 80's . Symington re-cork some 80 and 85 Dow's and also 80, 85 and 2000 Gold Campbell .
For me, 1985 is the best investment.

2011 was one of the best years in Douro, many saws best since 1963.
For me Taylor's is much better than Fonseca.
Nowadays I do not buy Fonseca for my cellar but I buy a lot of Taylor's.
But you should buy what you love most!

I'm waiting too for some good Port Wines from 2015. Thomas, any of wine you are talking are really good , in my opinion. I'm waiting to see if Symington or Fladgate will declare some of their best houses. Quinta do Vesuvio is a good one, but Quinta do Vesuvio Capela is the Top. Someone told me few w...

H&H Malvasia 1954. Just perfect!

Hello Christian . I'm from Portugal but not from Lisbon. So I stay many nights in Lisbon, knowing many hotels. Fours Seasons is a great hotel, the most iconic hotel building in Lisbon, but is a classic hotel (not my style). On the other hand Altis Belém is a modern hotel, with the best location over...

Hi All. I bought (two weeks ago) x2 1963 Warre's and x2 1970 Graham's from a trust source. He told me that bottles have been re-corked , maybe from symington himself (I suppose). Paid 220€ each bottle of Warre's and 175€ each Graham's. It was a good price?
