For The Love Of Port

6x Dow 2011 VP
Had to get my order in before Roy's notes drove up the price
To finish out my 2011 buying I still need to get some Warres, but there appear to be many sources of that still at reasonable prices.

1987 Fonseca Guimaerens

1 x 1966 Krohn Colheita
4 x 1982 Krohn Colheita

1 x 1977 Warre VP
1 x 1980 Dow VP
1 x 1980 / 1985/ 1997 Graham VP
1 x 1995 Vesuvio VP
2 x 1997 Fonseca VP
4 x 1997 Niepoort VP
10 x 2000 Fonseca VP

Bought from a private cellar. When we opened the box Niepoort 1997 two bottles showed not well, they had severe seepage. The other four looked very well and the filling level was good, so I took the risk. I hope they show well in a couple of years.
I was hoping to buy some older Kopke and Krohn Colheita's as well (1940-now) but the prices where out of my league (€150-250).

Well i've well and truly dove into it:

6x Niepoort Vintage Port 2011
6x Quinta do Noval Vintage Port 2011
5x Fonseca Vintage Port 2011 (no cases left).

now the wait begins!

Interested in how the 87 Kopke QSL is. Was a good year and generally I've been happy with the Single Quinta's.

Quinta d. Ventozelo 20 year old Tawny for this months Virtual Tasting.

And I saw a Fonseca Bin 27 for cheap, so I got a bottle of that as well.

Me too, I've had the Graham Malvedos two times and the Taylor Vargellas four times, realy great VP's for a not generaly declared year!

6 x 1985 Fonseca for $69 each all in from Winebid. Figured I'd pick up another half case since they were so inexpensive. I could use another 6-12, but there's no rush.

1991 Taylor Quinta de Vargellas, also from winebid.

I meant to bid a couple...got busy watching Olympics and family--- since so many left thought I could do next week---glad they went to a good home....AND that's a decent price. Congrats.

Picked up 2 - 1963 Dow Vintage in 1800 ml bottles.

- Fonseca 1997 VP x 1
- Smith Woodhouse 2000 VP x 2
- Cálem 1970 VP x 4

Noval Nacional 1996

Andreson "Century" 10 Year Tawny ($25).

Went to a neighborhood local Portuguese liquor store and saw several Andreson products mixed in with the usual suspects like Barros, Borges, and Messiahs (wood age ports are king in this hood). I asked the cashier if he's been digging the Andreson and he said that they had a big port tasting event at the church a few weeks ago and Andreson's line up won hands down. They are now carrying their products with much success.

Croft 2008 Quinta da Roeda x 5 for 19.99 apiece at Grocery Outlet.
