1915 Borges Boal, Solera?

Post by Daniel Fraley »

Morning all! It's been a fortnight+ since I was joining the conversation here... always enjoy the TN's and banter.

I came across this bottle today and wondered if anyone had sampled it before? https://www.ackerwines.com/product/1770 ... lho-750ml/ There was an auction record from a few years back but I haven't found much else. I'm assuming it's a Solera?

I'm also eyeing up a 1977 Borges Boal, which I've seen mixed reviews on here. Has anyone sampled recently? Looking to add a special occasion bottle to my next order.

Why do you think it's a solera? A real picture would be nice.

Agreed, a photo or even some basic provenance on that bottle would be nice! Just guessing on the Solera based on this Verdelho I found https://wineauctioneer.com/lot/3424/bor ... olera-1915 [shrug.gif]
