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.

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

Confirmed...added a 2003 Warres LBV and a Warres Warrior.
Due to host constraints, we will be tasting in pairs.

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

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

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

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

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.

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?

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.
