Re: What have you opened this week?
Just opened a Royal Oporto 1980 - quite tasty, but not something to rush out and buy.
**Late edit : Oops, meant to say that I opened a Royal Oporto 1970 but got the vintage wrong.

Opened a 1996 Quevedo Colheita last night. Somehow it's just not the same as when drinking it at the quinta with Oscar and a bunch of other Port geeks.

1937 Royal Oporto Colheita, impressive for this producer although it may have been the pristine bottle (btld. 1973).

I've just opened a bottle of Unknown Shipper from the 1908 vintage - it had started to leak so needed to be opened and drunk.
