An excellent point, which makes my list much easier.Andy Velebil wrote:Since Roy asked for memorable, not greatest, that makes me think of two immediately.
If you have to look through books, that doesn't seem like something that is memorable.Glenn E. wrote:Hmm... ever? That's a tough one that's going to require some research. ... I'll have to look through my TN books!
Yeah I misread it as "best" until Andy pointed out it says memorable.Eric Menchen wrote:If you have to look through books, that doesn't seem like something that is memorable.Glenn E. wrote:Hmm... ever?

It kind of suggests both.Glenn E. wrote:Yeah I misread it as "best" until Andy pointed out it says memorable.
What if the most memorable was terrible, and not to your liking?Roy wrote:What are the 2 or 3 most memorable Colheitas you've tasted? ... What were they and why were they so much to your liking?
I didn't think someone else would mention this Colheita... Although we had it from separate occasions.Al B. wrote: Whitwams 1853 - The Dom Pedro Vintage
This was opened at Roy's 50th birthday party in Seattle and, for me, was the star of the colheitas drunk that day - better than the Niepoort 1912 and the Constantino 1927. I had read about the Whitwam's bottles, the 1853 and the 1880. It was a great wine and by the standards of today's colheita releases a real bargain! This was deep and dense in colour and in texture but surprisingly light footed and elegant in flavour. This was served blind and I guessed it to be a 1927 vintage port — only out by three-quarters of a century! For me this was the standout colheita and the wine of the tasting that day. My first and so far only visit to Seattle was such a treat.
