What Port did you have for New Years Eve?

I had a 1970 magnum of Croft, a 1908 Graham and a 1970 Graham.
All were excellent!

Dow , 1986 Colheita . . .

Hi!!
First of all a very Happy New Year to you all!

I decided to start my New Year with a 1935 White Colheita from Barros...

What a treat!!

Hi Sandra,

I hope all has been well with you and congratulations on your first, of hopefully many posts here at FTLOP. I see you rang in the New Year in style with a great bottle of Port, and one of my favorite old White Colheita's. Hope you have a great 2008 :!:

That 1935 White Colheita from Barros wasn't to my taste on the only occasion when I tried it - but it is really etched into my memory and a taste that I can still recall. Not many wines have ever done that to me.

I celebrated New Year with a bottle of Croft 1983 filtered LBV, bottled in 1988, opened almost 25 years after the vintage and really enjoyable.

Hi everyone,

after 6 different plates on New Years eve (luckily the friend of my sister is a proffessional chef) we had only very little room left and went for the Grahams 2001 LBV i picked up in the duty free shop.

It was all right, a little much alcohol in the beginning but it faded away after several minutes in the glass. It is a quite nice LBV, but in comparison with the Niepoort 2003 which we had around Christmas it can't compete. The Niepoort showed a lot more fruit and seemed to offer more taste. The Niepoort was liekd a lot by my entire familiy, and even the poeple who didn't want to try it at first, because they were scared of sweet wine were positively astonished :).

Aahh... New Year's Eve. This is traditionally a time for Champagne, which was limited to Waitrose this time. I did manage a snifter or two of Dow's 10 yo tawny though.

I had the Graham's LBV 2001, which is new to my location before and after the Champagne. It was very good. TN appears in the Port Tasting Notes Forum, here.
