What Port(s) have you purchased this week?

[Rune EG]

As my family seems to lean more towards tawny / colheita than I am doing (although I love them as well, but I am still more to vintage ports), our cellar needs to be more balanced to reflex that situation. Recently been in Denmark and purchased (which should last for some time ):

[Eric Menchen]

12x 1985 Smith Woodhouse VP
I love this and have had wonderful bottles and not-so-wonderful bottles. For $28.81 each, I thought it was worth a gamble. If they turn out to not be so wonderful, they'll be daily drinkers for a while.

[Glenn E.]

Which year, Eric?

What Year??

[Mika H]

Royal Oporto Colheita 1980. The commercial representative of Real Companhia Velha at Faro airport in Algarve, Portugal, was very convincing. :)
I couldn't find any tasting notes of that Port from FTLOP, any comments? I, however think that the history of that winehouse is one of the most fascinating when it comes to Port wine.

[Eric Menchen]

Which year, Eric?

D'oh! 1985

[Glenn E.]

Which year, Eric?

D'oh! 1985

Ah, yeah, those can be really nice or pretty average... really depends on the bottle. Totally worth it for $29/bottle, though!

3 Dow's 2007 popped up on the K&L auction and I grabbed them.
I was also in Berkeley today and grabbed 2 bottles of 1964 Krohn White Colheita Port from Premier Cru.
I'm not sure how you can buy this at $59.95, but for those inclined there are three bottles left, from 2008.

[Allan Engelsted Laurents]

One Nice Niepoort Presidente arrived today. Nothing fancy, But quite pleasant.

And then again, Niepoort is Allways Niepoort....So I am very pleased.

2010 Van Zellers LBV from a very nice B&M...they keep the whole store at 61 degrees F.

[Thomas V]

The level of port in my house had reached a unacceptable low level so I decided to buy a couple of bottles. I wanted to keep a low budget for this while also trying out some producers I haven't tasted before.

This was the haul.

1999 Barão de Vilar Colheita - 13 USD
1999 Barros Colheita - 19 USD
2001 Maynards Colheita - 18 USD
2007 Graham's LBV - 17 USD

Anything you guys have tasted? Thoughts on the prices?

Now for the challenging choice of what to open this weekend.

Nice! Missed that one. Are you free to say what you paid? Just curious what full price is on the '52 these days.

[Roy Hersh]

I will check what the heck I did with the receipts and let you know.
