Ok, I've got to ask for TN on this one out of sheer curiosity

Sainsbury's (another UK supermarket) Own Label "Taste The Difference" vintage port 2003, supplied by the Symington Family Estates. After 24 hours brooding in the decanter this turns out to be a rich, deep and fruity young vintage port. One to be recommended.

Quevedo Special reserve Tawny. Excellent value for the money imo.

Right now, after a "one of those days" at work...a very tasty 2003 Quevedo LBV while watching South Park

Hope it isn't corked

Actually, it is FANTASTIC and no signs of TCA at all. Although I realize there are some bottles of Dow's 1977 that are/were corked, I have only had a couple and lots of great bottles with no incidence whatsoever. I've seen numbers great exaggerated on this particular bottling, although obviously like other 1977's there was a problem with cork. Like my experience with Taylor's, Fonseca, and Gould Campbell as just 3 examples ... the incidence of TCA is about 1 bottle/case. Not good, but not as bad as some crazy numbers I've seen put forth.

Rozès vintage 2007.
In my view good "everyday" VP and relativly inexpensive here in DK.
Great Sunday to all of you.

A bottle of Marks & Spencers own label finest reserve ruby port from Quinta and Vineyard Bottlers Lda. Did the perfect job as an emergency pop 'n' pour cellar defender.

Warre '55 - amazingly dark for it's age, and noticeably chocolatey - lovely juice!

1977 Gould Campbell VP (.375ml) in the decanter for later. Curious to see how a 1/2 bottle of this stacks up against full bottles I've had.

Also, a 2005 Chryseia Douro wine in decanter as well.

Quevedo LBV 2003. Wonderful dry style LBV. A bit tannic (pop 'n pour) but still delicious - especially the sour cherry character.

Graham's Natura Port

Post by **Glenn E.** » Tue Dec 13, 2011 10:40 pm

2003 Taylor Fladgate LBV. I just needed to open something, so this cellar defender did its job! Yummy as usual... this is great juice especially for a filtered Port.

Taylor's 2003 LBV. Very pleasing. It has been two years since I last tasted this. It seems smoothed out some. I'm happy I've got 5 more on hand, but I see I should drink them and not linger to consume them.

It was our UK Christmas offline yesterday. As my contribution, I opened 3 bottles - Quinta do Noval 1955, Martinez 1922 and Warre 1922.

1980 Dow

The other day, a 1987 Warre's Quinta da Cavadinha VP (375ml)
