Had a rare afternoon off and enjoyed a few glasses of a delicate 1975 Cockburns VP while I caught up on some movie watching.

While these bottles were actually opened by the brother-in-law, I consider one of them to be a joint venture:

1890 Burmester Colheita (the jointly-owned bottle)
1963 Dalva Golden White Colheita
1952 Dalva Golden White Colheita

A very nice Labor Day afternoon, indeed! Thanks Marc and Laura!

As crazy as this sounds, I poured about 4-5 ounces each of Taylor, Fonseca, Croft and Vargellas Vinha Velha from 2009, all together in equal parts after four days of evaluation of the separate bottlings. I then waited four more days before I had the chance to try this blend. I finished it last night, which was about two+ weeks after initially opening the bottles. Very delicious cuvee, that is for sure.

1994 Martinez VP. I didn't take any notes, but seemed consistent with the last time I had it.

2003 Taylor Fladgate LBV

2009 Niepoort Vintage Port

A minor personal emergency caused another of my £3 half-bottles of Croft 2004 LBV to be opened - and finished!

C. da Silva 1977 VP.
The label was in very bad condition, so I couldn't make out the vintage from the label. The cork mentioned 1977 VP though.
It seems (but I can't be sure) that this port has been bottled in 1980. The label only shows a visible '9' followed by what I make out to be part of an '8'. So this I figure means bottled in 1980 (it could of course also mean bottled in 1979 with a number or a letter following the '9').

Anyone had this VP before and/or can help me out to determine the year of bottling this one (I have one other bottle of this VP, but the label is in thesame poor condition)??

For The Love Of Port
