Quinta do Bomfim 2013, I'm curious as 2013 was very challenging but if good stuff was harvested before the rain, it can be stellar!

Re: What Port(s) have you purchased this week?
Whoa, a "last again" 1927 Niepoort? https://www.winespectator.com/articles/ ... arth-41686
Also, how does that work for a VP to be bottled after 14 years? Is that a Garrafeira or did they just used to bottle them that late?
All is fair in love and Warre's

Around 2003 I made my own wine from concentrated Carménère from Chile's Maipo Valley. I opened the last bottle on Saturday. I'll venture to guess that was more of a Last Bottle on Earth than Suckling's 1927 Niepoort.

No idea whether this is the very, very last one. Roy drank this port at least two times after 2010. See his tasting notes of 2017-02-26 and 2020-02-02. 02

1994 Quinta do Noval LBV. I've had my eye out for one of these for years. One finally came up on Winebid. It's more than I would normally pay for an LBV but I didn't know when I'd see another one.
