For The Love Of Port

Hi. New to the forum.
I've a bottle of Quinta Portal 20yr tawny which was bottled in2001... been saving for a special occasion. Should I drink or save?
Thanks
Mick

Hi Mick, welcome to FTLOP!



That's a fairly old bottle of 20-yr old tawny, so I'd say go ahead and find a reason to drink it. Unless you have some emotional attachment to that particular bottle, it would be fairly easy to find another which you could drink later for a different special occasion. Normally you would want to drink a 20-yr old tawny within 5-8 years of bottling. They don't go bad or anything, but they do eventually start to fade once they've been in bottle for a while.

HI Mick and welcome to the Forum. What Glenn said!
