1994 Quinta do Vesuvio. Very tasty. I hope I've newly exposed a few more people to good Port with this one.

I've done the last two notes on the Crasto. This one was great, better than the last bottle and equal to the first? Perhaps.

That's a nice one. I've got one open that I'll likely finish off in the next day or two.
