What have you opened this week?

[John M.]

It was my daughter’s wedding last Friday. We opened a 6 litre bottle of Quinta do Noval 2000 Colheita to be shared between the 120 guests.

The following Monday I went to a cricket match and took a bottle of Taylor’s Terra Feita 1986.

Congratulations to All!!

1977 Ferreira VP, which turned out to be flawed. It was the roughest looking bottle in my collection so I had it standing up for a few weeks before I opened it. I took the foil off and there was a layer of calcified mold on top of the cork. I scraped that away and the top of the cork was black. I removed the completely soaked cork, decanted it and it was cooked. Down the drain it went.

Plan B. I opened up a 1997 Quinta do Infantado VP.

1980 Andresen Colheita, bottled 2021

This was really good (94 points), but I got the feeling that it should have been better. Others felt it wasn't showing well, too. Hopefully just a slightly off bottle, because I have 5 more of them.

Enologo 10 White...quite different that most whites. Interesting and fun. Moderate weight---tangerine and walnuts upon opening....had a distinct twang for a while, then evolved. Always those nuts.
