Hi there,
I've been lurking for some time now, posted a few times. Thought it was time for an introduction.
My name is Sebastian, 26 years old, living in Stockholm, Sweden.
My story begins in december last year with a very spontaneous visit to a jazzclub, where i tried a port. Need I say more?

Well, i will anyway. :)
I asked what port it was and got to look at the bottle, it was a Romariz 10 year old tawny.
Soon after I purchased a Barão de Vilar 10 Year Old Tawny, a 1998 Graham's Malvedos Vp and a Taylor's 10 Years Tawny.
Loved them all and realised that this is it, this is something i can explore forever.
Ive read about that slippery slope you guys talk about, and I see what you mean.
I got myself a wine storage cabinet a few weeks ago, and boy, things happen fast.
I found this forum while searching around for which wines to storage first, and landed at some point at roy's Vintage Port Forecasts and somewhere where he wrote a opinion about stocking up on the 2003 and 2000 vintages. I had googled pretty much before i came there and this was the first time i found solid homepage, a trustworthy and comprehensive guide to port. With an very active, friendly forum.
I hope to learn more and improve my collection, and in time - at least - be able to share what i know.
For one thing I want to get better at writing down my own taste notes. I have always done it before, but find it more difficult the more port's i taste, since the notes tend to look a bit to much alike, a bit not so unique. I simply lack an educated ability to narrow down in words what i smell and taste.
I have so far stored away 2003 Quinta do Noval vp, 2005 Quinta do Panascal vp, 2003 Smith Woodhouse vp and 2000 Graham vp, 12 bottles in total. With six halves of 2003 Taylor's vp on their way. On that i have several 2003 Graham LBV, and a 20 year old Fonseca tawny (not for long though).
Thinking about ordering 1994 Quinta do Vesuvio vp (priced at about 112 in USD each) to get some older ones in there too. After that, to get hold on even older vintages, i pretty much need to private import it, a probaly pretty expensive and/or complicated procedure, since Systembolaget has a monopoly on selling alcohole in Sweden. Havn't yet looked at auctions as an option though, might be able to find something that way. Also an option perhaps would be to ask my mother, currently living i california, to get me something nice when she can :)
I also feel a strong must in piling up on those 2007's. Though i'm beginning to strain my budget now, savings included. But who needs to eat anyway, right?
Anyway, that's me.
Great to be here.
