My brother-in-law ordered it from a local wine merchant. He got 4 bottles and I bought 2 of them. It is the only Port I have from my birth year and I had never seen them available anywhere. So, I couldn't pass up the opportunity. They came in lovely single-bottle wooden cases

[Glenn E.]

Went in halfsies on a case of 1976 Krohn Colheita so that I could have properly labeled bottles.

[David Spriggs]

6 x 1976 Krohn Colheita.

[Eric Menchen]

6x 2011 Taylor VP, from Premier Cru.

[Roy Hersh]

Nice one Glenn!

[Mark Henderson]

2 btls of 2011 Quinta da Romaneira VP; a label which I hadn't seen in my country before.
Hoping for good things given that Noval are making the wine and the reviews do look positive.

Regards...Mark

[Andy Velebil]

1980 and 1982 Sandeman VP mag's

[Joni H]

Niepoort Colheita 1999
Burmester Colheita 1989
among others

[Allan Engelsted Laurents]

I Nice box from Portugal with 18 old Ports, mostly old Tawnies. 5 old Niepoorts (senior and Presidente).
And the Niepoort Colheita 1970.

The last one, to be tasted along with the vintage from the same year.

Funny, that some Houses chose to make both Colheita and Vintage the same Year?

Is that a normal thing to do?

I hear that '94 Croft is awful, you should probably bring some to the next tasting so you don't have to drink it :-P.

[Edgar B.]

yes, heard the same. I plan on trading it for some 94 passadouro.

[Eric Menchen]

yes, heard the same. I plan on trading it for some 94 passadouro.

I have a 1994 Passadouro, but no Croft. I'll trade. Also, would you be interested in some swampland in Florida?

Don't you mean waterfront property?

[John M.]

[Edgar B.]

not interested in swampland. been there, had that. not even oceanfront...too hot there and hurricanes, too. been through a few of those in Louisiana and that's why i'm in Port Angeles,WA...God's country.
Every day is a port day here!

[Lisa Stevens]

Been on a bit of a spending spree, filling up my cellar with mostly every day ports. In the past week I have bought:

Sandeman 10 yro Tawny
Quita do Novel 10 yro Tawny
Quinta do Infantado 2004 LBV
6 bottles of Krohn 1976 Colheita (bottled 2013)
Warre Porto Fine White
Kirkland Signature 10 yro Tawny
Fonseca 20 yro Tawny
Taylor 2011 VP

About a year ago, I was casually going through a number of different 10 yro's. Now I would like to do it more systematically, taking notes. Anybody have a comprehensive list of 10 yro tawnies that I could use to go shopping?

I may have a list floating around somewhere. Over the past year I've been pulling together a number of 10 yro's for a tasting. So far I think I have acquired around 35 different 10 yro's (or so), but I did have a listing that I was using for the more obscure (in the U.S.) producers. I'll see if I can find it...
