David, that's not Port.

I grabbed one bottle each of 2003 and 2005 Quinta do Noval LBV @ $22 each for the sake of FTLOP Newsletter tasting notes.

That is port - it's just not been fortified yet. Port made the traditional way before it started to be fortified, like in the early to mid-1700s.

Or perhaps we should invent a new category of port called "Late Fortified"?


OK. It's been a long, hard day today!

So what you are saying is we all should get some Aguardente and some Portuguese wine, then combine the two ourselves. Then have a Virtual Tasting to chart the results?

Or, just skip over the just crushed grape juice and sip some 80-100 year old Aguardente!

1x 1992 Delaforce VP
1x 1992 Smith Woodhouse VP (which turned out to be an SW 1992 LBV when we got the bottle home and inspected it)

Or how about an original stlye "Port Kit." I'm sure some on here will remember as I do, getting you computer as bits & pieces that you had to put together. Some people still do that today with computers, so why not with port? , ,
