Wish I had a Vesuvio and to a lesser degree a Delaforce--still it should be a very nice lineup. I was going to decant about 12 hours prior---does that sound right?
Nice line up. Somewhere between 8-10 hours probably would be fine for most.
I'm a big fan of the value in '95. I hope they showed well!

Thanks for decanting confirmation. Sounds like I'll get a little taste for breakfast!

I've has a few 95s over the past couple of years---Dows and Warres---decent but not blown away either. Looking forward and I'll post a synopsis.

2000 Ramos Pinto VP I didn't open it myself exactly. As I was asked to be a guest lecturer today at California Polytechnic University Pomona (Cal Poly Pomona) Collins College of Hospitality Management for their Advanced Wine class, teaching about Portuguese wines and Ports. We covered a Vinho Verde, a Ramos Pinto Duas Quinta Douro wine, a Taylor's 20 year tawny, and this. here's the TN

Friday at last...

And old White Sandeman is going down. And speeking of White, this one is as white as they gets.

On Saturday for Kari's 50th, a 750 and a 375 of 1965 Kopke Colheita. Different sources, but both bottled in 2014.

Then tonight, a 2007 Presidential LBV. As I recall this was a winesearcher purchase, and a very successful one at that. This was my last bottle.

Last Tuesday I opened a bottle of Fonseca 1948 as my contribution to a Fonseca vertical from 1994 back to the 1948.

On Saturday we had a 1945 horizontal with 23 different 1945 ports. I supplied Fonseca, Taylor, Croft, Eira Velha and Morgan.

Had a '66 Grahams over the weekend. Actually, it was on Friday night and had one glass left on Sunday that was still showing well. Became a little simple by Sunday, but very smooth. The vintage is a little more spirity than I remember. Was digging the $9.95 price tag from the local now defunct liquor store near my house.

1992 Krohn's Colheita over the weekend

So far, the other bottles from this case have been stellar, so the expectation is high!

I agree. I bought a couple of cases a couple of years ago on sale for $15.99. Down to my last 4 bottles.
