What have you opened this week?

[Mike J. W.]

For sure, it was absolutely worth the gamble. I bought the lot thinking I would use them as gifts for the unitiated, but because they are so old, I'm not so sure about that anymore. I may just have to make the sacrifice of drinking them myself.

Doing some more digging, Saccone & Speed was the distributor for Taylor Fladgate from 1957 to 1982. Most likely it's a 60's or 70's bottling.

The importer label is the only label on the back. Thanks Mike. I had guessed very early 90s, so that's really incredible.

I assume that because they were bottled young around 7-10 y.o. and by a good shipper, and presumably well stored, is why they have managed to survive that much bottle age without tasting like nothing.

It was from the mid to late 1970’s. Glad they’ve help up.

One question, should I keep this in the refrigerator now? I worry about how fast something like this will degrade once opened?

My vote would be yes, but you can experiment since you have several.

Yes. I would.

Kopke 2003 White.

It's not the same vintage but the 2005 is quite a bottle! I bought one and after drinking it I bought 3 more. Plus it was around $20 Can. (around 14 Euros).

The 2008 is very good as well. I also had the 2003 two weekends ago and it was really good.

Is the $20 Can. for a 750 ml bottle? If so that's a crazy good price. It's a good price even for a 375 ml bottle

2000 Smith Woodhouse VP.

Had this unopened case languishing for some time. I should have opened sooner! Great port. The nose is a rock star. Intense floral and kept going and going. Had one glass last night.

For some reason I thought it was a Churchill 2000 case and needed some port to fill in empty slots on the shelves.

Yea it was for a 750ml bottle. :) I think it was a "mistake".

At that price I'd clean them out.

I've had 2003, 2004, 2007, and 2008 for sure, and I think one more in there somewhere? They're all pretty stellar.
