For The Love Of Port

A bottle of Allesverloren 2011 Cape Vintage - tasted (and from the lack of sediment looked) like it had been cold stabilised. A bit thin and lifeless.

On the other hand I also opened a bottle (UK bottler) of Warre 1970 - as good as you'd expect it to be. I love the 1970 vintage at the moment!

1985 Gould Campbell. Had a couple of pop and pour glasses last night. Terrific port; for me one of the best of the vintage. Looking forward to more tonight

I've opened a 1977 Delaforce to try to get through the Saints - Dolphins game. Not a great game; most plays seem to be ending in penalties at the moment.

You should have been watching the Patriots & Panthers game. Thrilling. Thankfully my team won

How is the Delaforce?

The Delaforce is delicious - right on it's drinking plateau. Sweet fruit with leathery overtones and a lovely balancing acidity. Elegant and tasty.

1970 Warre's Vintage. Very nice, and showed beautifully for this one. Shared with a group of friends for a Friday night dinner and paired nicely with cheeses and dark chocolate.

I do feel that some indication of how the wine/bottle taste would be appreciated when posting.

"alles verloren" would translate to "everything lost" so in a way it makes sense

(in Dutch that is, in Afrikaans it might be something slightly different)

An epic lunch with 1945 Dow's as dessert and 1961 Latour as the entree, with my college roomie from culinary school.
