Re: Special Occasion Port
I had one that was bottle in 1981 a couple of years ago and it was delicous!!!Miguel Simoes wrote:Two bottles of 1955 Burmester Colheita, bottled in 1973.
Will be opening them in just under a year's time, when my second boy turns 1.
A bit of a crap shoot, will have some backup plan should they be corked or otherwise unpleasant to drink...

Re: Special Occasion Port
I've got a 1934 Quinta do Noval VP that would be the perfect special occasion port. Although, come to think of it, there's a bottle of 1945 Ramos Pinto in the cellar that would also make for an interesting special occasion port.

Re: Special Occasion Port
Got a half bottle of the 1937 Noval Colheita on the last harvest tour. Will open it on my retirement.
Also a single bottle of the 45 Croft. Waiting for a good time for it.

I'd say we have ourselves a proper tasting to start planning for in the future

Re: Special Occasion Port
I should add the 2 - 1963 Dow 1.8's I recently acquired. Don't have any plans on drinking them, but if an unlikely opportunity comes around, sure why not?
