That's a good one!

[Goncalo Martins]

Just opened:

1994 Quinta do Noval LBV Unfiltered

2005 Taylor's Quinta de Vargellas (half bottle)

[Mahmoud Ali]

A 1977 Sandeman's VP at the end of a long evening. I thought it was better when I had a sip after decanting it at about 4:30 in the afternoon. Still, it was nice enough though not earth shattering.

Mahmoud.

[Miguel Simoes]

2000 Taylor VP
Starting to drink through mine as no one seems willing to take them off my hands and I have little desire to cellar them for the next 30 years.
It is full of berries and a pleasure to drink. Still comes across v young though not "thick" from all the fruit anymore.

[Eric Ifune]

1977 Fonseca to watch the conference finals.

[Marc J.]

A very nice Rozes 10 Year Old Tawny

[Mahmoud Ali]

A very nice Rozes 10 Year Old Tawny

Just curious, when was it bottled?

Mahmoud.

[Rick V]

Graham's 10 year old tawny. (I just started exploring the world of port, any recommendations on good but not very expensive ports are welcome. I like tawny's the most.)

[Andy Velebil]

1991 Krohn's Colheita (B. 2013)

Here's another tawny lover

I'm from Finland and not so sure about the prices in your part of the world. However, I think that Dow´s 10 YO, Smith Woodhouse 10 YO, Kopke 20 YO and Burmester 20 YO have a decent price-quality ratio. Also Offley Colheita 1997, while older than 10 YOs costs here about the same as a 10 YO.

You guys correct me if I'm wrong.

I also usually prefer tawnies to rubies. You're not alone!

Niepoort makes a great 10-yr old, but it's a little more expensive. Probably $5-$10 more in the US.

Sandeman's 20-yr old is excellent, and it can often be found for $40-$45.

Welcome Rick.

Am not sure where you live, but in the US I would recommend you trying the Ferreira 10 Year Old ($20-25) and the Ferreira 20 Year old ($45-55).

My favorite 20 YOs are Ferreira, Andresen and Kopke. Ferreira tends to be the priciest but not by much. Find that I much prefer the 20s than the 10s, despite the price increase. As in, would rather have a half-pour of a 20 YO than a full pour of a 10 YO.

A very nice Rozes 10 Year Old Tawny

Just curious, when was it bottled?

Mahmoud.

It was bottled in 2005 and had clearly lost a bit of freshness, although on the palate I found the mix of dried fruits and nuts to be very tasty. Style wise it was a very elegant, well crafted wine. I hardly ever drink 10 Year old tawnies, but if I do see some more of these I'll be sure to pick up some additional bottles...always need more cellar defenders!

2008 Poças LBV (filtered) - opened this evening

[Monique Heinemans.]

1987 NIepoort colheita, bottled in 2004

[Joni H]

Kopke Colheita 1989, bottled in 2013. Really smooth and delicious!

[Miguel Simoes]

2003 Broadbent VP

Opened it a three days ago. Decanted it for sediment and poured back into the bottle. Last night it tasted better than any of the prior 2 nights.

[Bradley Bogdan]

1983 Fonseca

Honestly, rather underwhelming, but served its purpose of impressing coworkers/colleagues with age and general quality.

[Andy Velebil]

Flu is gone and I opened a Trader Joe's impulse buy for $13. Warre's Warrior. It has a very nice new looking label, capsule, and bottle. Much better than the old horse head, which I wasn't a fan of.
