Which Quinta was the source for the grapes?

I'd give the same rating as I did few years ago: http://fortheloveofport.com/tndb/1983-F ... ntage-Port, but it tasted more like Andy's review. Not as dried fruit tasting. This bottle was from a seperate lot than the previous bottle in our Ferreira vertical.

6 x 1968 Noval Colheita @ $127.50 each
6 x 1976 Noval Colheita @ $105.00 each

And, an invite to a future Port tasting by the owner of the store (Mills Fine Wines in Annapolis). Not a bad day!

(Half of these are for the brother-in-law, though.)

91 Croft
94 Vesúvio

These are the first VPs I am buying not for immediate consumption!

That said, Thanksgiving is coming up and would like to open one then. Which would you open? I also have a 94 Dow on the way...

What I really mean by my question is which of the three you think is closest to its peak, to the best it can deliver...

None of them, they're all babies still.

Go out and by another bottle that is drinking well right now. Say a 1983 Dow's or Graham's.

Oh, did anyone tell you buying Port is a slippery slope? Soon you'll have more cases than you'll have space to put them. Welcome to the club

Received my case of 2007 Romaneira VP last Monday... 6-pack of 1980 Gould Campbell in 375s is due next Monday. Nowhere to put either of them...

Fearing that am actually considering getting also a 1977 and a 1983 Grahams! Extra incentive to do so :)
