What have you opened this week?

[John M.]

For Friday Night gathering have stood up

1970 Warres
1994 Warres
1992 Warres q.d. Cavadinha
1995 Warres q.d. Cavadinha

I'll add something to this mix--I have no more Warre's VPs ....perhaps a Warre's LBV for contrast. if so might add a Warre's Warrior for educational purposes.

[Eric Menchen]

2003 Quevedo LBV, my last one. Time to look for some more recent vintages to defend the cellar.

[Andy Velebil]

Had a stomach bug this past weekend so finally getting back to some sticky stuff. A bottle of 1980 Kopke Colheita (Single Vintage Tawny for some of you )

[Al B.]

I've just finished a very tasty bottle of Warre 1984 LBV.

Confirmed...added a 2003 Warres LBV and a Warres Warrior.

Due to host constraints, we will be tasting in pairs.

Just opened the first bottle of Taylor 1994 from my cellar - wow! What a stunning port.

[Eric Ifune]

Taylors 40 year old tawny. Bottled in 1995.
More freshness than I expected. Still very drinkable.

Opened up a 1995 Warres q.d. Cavadinha tonight. After reading some less than enthusiastic notes I wasn't expecting too much. We have been pleasantly surpirsed, very quaffable.

S. Leonardo 20y Tawny
Ferreira 20y Tawny

Had to figure out how the S. Leonardo stacked up against a benchmark.

That's tough job, but someone has to do it.

20yo Fonseca Tawny
30yo Sandeman Tawny

Trying to expand my knowledge base before our Kopke arrives.

[Moses Botbol]

Last night was a '70 Offley Boa Vista. I used the tongs as that round rubber capsule was being difficult to cut through.

[Roy Hersh]

Ramos Pinto 20 year old Tawny Port - same as it ever was. Very solid, although I prefer this producer's 30 year old by a wide margin.


Alex B., really glad to hear you liked the 1994 Taylor, it is really stunning and all about the upside OR a very long decant at this point. But it has all the stuffing and its greatness is undeniable.

[Scheiny S]

Quevedo White
Fonseca Dry White

my first whites. i tried the Fonseca first and really liked it. bin 27 is my favorite Port and this is the first other style i've had by them. then i tried the Quevedo and loved it!

[Thomas V]

Last night a 2004 Dalva Colheita.

Will post a TN in a couple of days time.

What kind of decant time would you recommend for such a young colheita btw?

[Andy Velebil]

Spent the weekend at my cycling team training camp in the lovely warm Palm Springs area. Got some great long and hard rides in. Anyways, I got tasked with picking up beer and wine for dinner on our last night, Saturday. So I found a Douro wine and a Taylor Fladgate 20 year tawny (B.2014) (that was quite good) at a local shop which fit the bill and all loved it.

[Eric Menchen]

1997 Barros Colheita, 375ml.

1986 Rocha Colheita 375ml
