2021 Ribero Santo Vinha de Maria Branco. Single vineyard old vine white. Tastes like a classic blend of encruzado, bical, and arinto.

Carcavelos "Villa Oeiras 15 Anos"
Not "port" so cannot post in port section. Excellent fortified wine and very generous 15 year designation.

JMdF TRILOGIA, Moscatel de Setubal - from a blend of 1900, 1934 and 1965 comes this great bottle, purchased a week ago (<280 Euros) and consumed two nights later. As wonderful as I remembered it to be, loaded with figs and prune flavors, soft, lt-med. weight, and the acidity is fresh but not overt here. Long crazy finish. 95 points.

2022 Quinta do Noval Branco Grande Reserva - need to keep my hands off this, but it ain't easy to do so. Every time I open one, my friends are blown away.

Roy,
I have a bottle of this which I won at auction about 2 years ago ($135 all in for a 500 ml bottle), but haven't opened yet. When was yours bottled? They can stay in bottle and still be fresh for awhile, can't they?
