Dow's AJS...

Its a vintage character Port that is actually very tasty!

I opened a bottle of 1977 Warre this evening - this really is in a good place for drinking at the moment.

Dow 99 Quinta do Bomfin, it was quite nice

And how was it? I just purchased one of these and am curious.

And how was it? I just purchased one of these and am curious.

There are two bottlings. The first is amazing because they accidentally put far more old Port (the 1937, I think) into it than planned. The second is still really good, but not close to the first. I believe that I still have 1 bottle of the first bottling left.

[Glenn E.]

Decanted a 2007 Quinta da Romaneira Vintage Port at 8:00 am for my wife's office party tonight. I'm hoping that 10-12 hours will be enough.

A Quinta Seara d´Ordens LBV 2004

[Marc J.]

Rocha's 150th Anniversary Tawny Port

And how was it? I just purchased one of these and am curious.

It was very good. I've had the Rocha Three Centuries quite a few times and each time I've ben impressed by the level of complexity it always exhibits. This was my first time trying the 150th Anniversary bottling and I must say that seems to be even more complex than the Three Centuries. Layer upon layer of nuts, brown sugar, carmel, toffee and dried fruits all in perfect balance. I think you'll enjoy it...

[Al B.]

On Wednesday I opened a really nice and elegant Offley Boa Vista 1963 and this evening a resplendent Taylor 1977.
