6-8 hours is pretty good. I’ve a few of these lately and they’re drinking quite well at the moment.

It drunk really well! I still have some in the bottle for today.

375ml 1977 Dow VP

Nice buy! Drunk one (750ml) a few weeks ago, was in very good shape.

Sounds like i have to open it in the near future. Well, it's an event worthy port, so don't pop & pour if you can help it. Unfortunately, pop & pour is the default at our residence. Not the whole bottle, but for sure a couple of glasses right away. Most of the time I decant them for a few h...

1970 Noval VP on Sunday. Went down quick. [kez_11.gif] What are your thoughts about it? I only have one bottle of it. One of the best of ports of the vintage, for sure top 5-6. Great color and powerful. Similar results with a bottle from the same case about a year ago. Racing against the wife to ge...

Happy soon-to-be 50th! Sounds like a fun gathering. What all else was opened? Thanks Andy! The other wines we enjoyed were 8--) [dance2.gif] [cheers.gif] : - 2012 Aspasie Champagne (small producer that I visit sometimes to pick up their wonderful Champagnes) - 1996 Wegeler Forster Ungeheuer Rieslin...

I want to a Taylors 1992 next weekend. What do you guys recommend for the decanting time? I was thinking about 12 hours. Ten years might be better! Seriously though, this is a young wine that I tried earlier this year, and found to be in a really awkward phase - I'd wait awhile.. I drank it yesterd...

What would you guys recommend as decanting time for a half bottle of Fonseca vintage port 2003?

Thank you again! I hope someone can give me more information about the bottle.

Sedielos is a small town in the Vila Real district of Portugal, which is in the Baixo Corgo part of the Douro DOC. I can't find anything about a Jos[e] Rodrigu[es|z] in Sedielos, but if it was a small producer in 1925 then it may no longer exist. I agree that it's probably a Moscatel and not a Vint...

I have bought this bottle thinking it was a bottle of vintage port.
After looking at the label, I doubt that.
I now think may be its a colheita Moscatel. Any one of you who has an idea?

6 x Quinta do Vesuvio 2015

I tasted one of my bottles a few months ago, but for me it was too strong on the first day.
On my opinion is had the best taste on the third or maybe fourth it was open.

Are there some Dutch people overhere who want to do a tasting together?

I've sended you a PM a few days ago.

I want to open up a bottle of Warre’s vintage Port 1970 for one of the christmas days. What would you guys recommand for decanting time for this bottle? The 1970 Warre's was in really great shape. It was my oldest bottle so far. Are there some Dutch people overhere who want to do a tasting together?
