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.

[Glenn E.]

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.

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.

It's tough, but someone's got to do it
