Some Smith Woodhouse that is currently on sale here in Denmark.

I have been going through the first bottle of crusted over the last 3 days; very tasty stuff. I'll probably wait another 8-10 years before opneing another one.

Well, I tasted it four years ago at our'94 tasting in Odense and it showed very well back then.

Added an extra 1997 Dow's to the cellar, just to be safe. Nice price at 70$.

Picked up some Kopke Colheitas:
1951, 1957, 1978, 2002&2003 White

The Kopke tasting room in Gaia turned me onto the 1978. I had ordered a flight including their 40yo tawny. The staff added the 1978 Colheita for free to let me compare. I found it to be the better wine.
