I opened a half bottle of 2006 Roxo Négrette Port (Paso Robles) yesterday. An excellent domestic port!

Re: What have you opened this week?
Opend one of my old and "uncertain" bottles.
This time a Butler Nephew.
Can't tell the age of the port. But I guess the port was ment for the market long ago. The port is still fresh and alive. Honey
and Wood.
Beautiful color, and a Nice Nose.

Re: What have you opened this week?
Opened the first Ferreira Duque de Braganca on Thanksgiving (It was emptied quickly by my guests) and on Saturday I tried one of my newly purchased 10YO Krohn.
There is no contest between the 2 when it comes to taste, but I really enjoyed the Krohn. Very delicious for a 10 year old and great QPR.

I left it in the bottle for the entire 2 days.
I figured, no need to decant, when the taste was so far off. But as written, the bottle recovered, and came back alive!
Re: What have you opened this week?
Great stuff Allan. Was glad to hear you managed to save and enjoy it.

I went to a Christmas lunch yesterday and brought a 2007 Graham's LBV as I don't drink schnapps. I manage to get a few guests to convert and join the dark side ![Toast [cheers.gif]](./images/smilies/cheers.gif)

1980 Gould Campbell Vintage Port - one of the freshest and best bottles I've come across. Really beginning to turn the corner and show some real complexity. Loved it. ![Huh? [shrug.gif]](./images/smilies/shrug.gif)
