For The Love Of Port

Up to you, select just one or choose some from all categories (Colheita/Frasqueira/Blend with an indication of age etc.) or even by GRAPE, whatever you'd like, but outside of New Year's Eve ... the timing is right to review what you consumed in 2022 and share with the rest of us. Thanks and wishing you all a Happy and Healthy 2023!

Of the top of my head,
Barbeito 50 year old Verdelho
1934 ABSL Malvasia. I really like their style.

So you prefer the 50 Verdelho by Ricardo to the 50 Terrantez by Justino's?

No, prefer the Justinos. Did I have the 50 Terrantez this year, or was it last year? All the wines run together in my head!

1775 Fajã dos Padres Madeira Malvasia

Top of my list was Henriques & Henriques Reserva Terrantez .... Magnificent

1900 H&H Century Malmsey Solera (H&H bottling) - in the sweet category
1964 Justino's Madeira Boal - in the semi-sweet category
1934 Justino's Madeira Verdelho - in the semi-dry category
1969 D'Oliveiras Madeira Sercial - in the dry category

The only Madeira I had of note this year was an 1871 Cossart Gordon Boal Solera. 96 points for me... very impressive, especially for a Boal.
