For The Love Of Port

Bjorn altough this LBV 2001 was a deception in my opinion, belive me that one of the best LBV's I ever had was the classic LBV 95 UNF from Rozès, it's so interesting, pepery aftertaste, I still have 2 bottles back at my home, not at Vinologia, but if you ever come one day here to Porto and pass here...

ehehe!
I'll be here for sure, please don't forget to send the email so that I'm sure to be here!
Take care and go Quebecccc!

The quick answer is that Colheita is refreshed with younger port. It is not a secret for anyone in Portugal, though since its vintage wine, if you ask a producer, he will probably deny it. Some companies do not refresh their Colheita and I'd have to say that some are successful while others are dul...

Hello Ronald. I'm happy to see, once again that Holland it's really being invaded by small Producers Port, infact the VP 2004 from Prelada that you have just drank I open a bottle of that everyday!;) it's a good reliable 2004, altough the last time I had Roy and the group they all preferred a 2002 Q...

It's always good in my opinion to try new combinations. I will NOT consider it a disrespect, I think if it makes more people to drink Port it's always GOOD, is a little bit like the French having the little melon with Port...or using Port to cook, of course that you will not use a classy Port for th...

:shock: Khron have as well a white Colheita??? In fact, I know that they are speciallised in Single Harvest Ports and one of the few wich offers at their own cellar some Colheita Ports to taste! ALELUIA, we start to have hight quality stuff to taste in Gaia!!! I don't have any acess to Khorn colheit...

I will definetly think about it, the only problem about going to a foreign country to me is: 1 - How do I get there my "Small Producers Ports!??? I will NEVER resist to have a place only with the big ones! 2 - I'm a total "newbie" about how to "behave" outside Europe! 3 - I ...

Thanks Andy, besides the IVPs Solar in Porto, Lisboa and I only can assume (never been) to the newest version which is Regua, this MUST be the best Port bar in the world. Thank you Roy, for your entusiastic words about our bar. I feel a big proud to listen this but in my honest opinion, I think tha...

Morgan 1945 http://www.fortheloveofport.com/images/stewart/45Morgan.JPG This was a bottle acquired from the recent Taylor's clear out of the old Morgan stocks that came when they acquired the company a short time ago. The bottle was ex-cellars and this tasting note taken 5 hours after decanting. ht...

They are all MINE ahahahah! :twisted:

:lol: I want 2 cases of that, please! eheheh! :P Incredible, 1815!!! Vintage, I can not imagine what's the feeling of having that in my hands, when I grab my 1890 Colheita from Burmester it's an incredible sensation, but 1815...wowww! :wink: Who wants to make a Joint Venture for a group buy?ehehehe!...

What about little thought of folks like Sogevinus, Cruz etc... not to mention the behemoth Royal Oporto? Do you have an understanding of how many properties these shippers own? Sogevinus and RCV I think that they can cause some competition, but Cruz? Everybody knows that they are, in fact, the bigg...

I have no doubt, it's a tricky question but quite easy if we think a little bit.. No doubt... it's the Symington Family with 22/24 estates I think: Dow’s Quinta do Bomfim Quinta da Senhora da Ribeira Quinta do Santinho Quinta de Cerdeira Quinta do Sol (winery) Smith Woodhouse Quinta da Madalena Quin...

In my opinion Eric, you don't lose nothing special.
The Crusted Ports available nowadays are not exceptional , I would prefer a goos unfiltered LBV!
But, I still suggest the Churchills Crusted bottled in 2001!

Hello Eric, nice to see that you have been at Vinologia!
Did I met you or not?Honestly without a picture it's way too dificult!
What's your 52 edition?bottled in 2006?
This last bottles we have are all bottles in 2007, 55 years in the oak!!!

Take care!
