Re: What Port(s) have you purchased this week?
The bottle dosnt say. But my guess is a 1 liter bottle.
I put it on the scale, and it showed 1,4 kg. Another dumpy bottle of Niepoort weighs 1.25 kg.

Re: What Port(s) have you purchased this week?
Came across some old TWAIOA from Niepoort. Bottled in 1978. I just had to get them...
And YES they are still very pleasant!
Tried one last year. And they are smooth like an old Colheita.

Allan, you never cease to amaze with your finds of old tawny. If only they were so easy to find on this continent.Allan Engelsted Laurents wrote:Came across some old TWAIOA from Niepoort. Bottled in 1978. I just had to get them...

A bottle of Quinta do Noval 2000. I seem to be building a vertical of recent Noval vintages so it seemed too good an opportunity to pass to fill a gap.

When I talk to my Danish Portfriends they are amazed too! Because It is not that easy

So when the Mailmann comes, I am quite exited....
But true! Having single bottles send across the Atlantic is both costly and takes some work.
All the Best to You

Re: What Port(s) have you purchased this week?
This arrived with the postman earlier today. It was a shared buy that I coordinated so we could get the discount which only applied with a purchase of 12+ bottles. 3 of those babies are mine.
Should I taste 1 now and save the 2 others, decisions decisions...
