I usually have a couple of bottles of white port to make (summer) tonic coctails :D . My brand for that is Quevedo. And I do like the Quevedo 30-YO white port a lot! I have two bottles of this left (only downside is the bottle contents of 50 cl). I had one bottle of the 1971 Dalva Golden white colhe...

Nice!!

1978 Fonseca Guimaraens VP

Fonseca 1997 VP (Magnum). Just bought this at auction over here. I realised (about 20 seconds after the fact), that I overbid myself online by putting in a higher bid on the standing bid (which was my own written bid, that I put in earlier) [dash1.gif] :D :D . But at least I prevented another online...

1977 Pocas Jr. Vintage Port

1991 Vargellas VP

1970 Messias Quinta do Cachao VP 2x (@ well under €40 a bottle, I thought it was an acceptable gamble )

1995 Quinta do Vesuvio VP

1985 Delaforce VP 2x (Magnum). Started to fill in the missing (large-sized) bottles for my 45th birthday dinner at the end of this year. And I needed some VP in Magnum (which is matured enough). Seemed a good start

I took my pick from the vintages I have had the chance to drink/taste myself (hence, 1900, 1912, 1927, 1931 are not an option to choose from for me (so far ... ))

on Christmas eve, I opened up a 1963 Avery's VP, it seemed a tiny bit corked. Yesterday, after Christmas dinner, we had a 1995 Kopke VP, and later on the evening I returned to the 1963, which seemed to have improved a bit (still not a great showing but quite enjoyable).

The year's not completely over, but so far: - White Port: Quevedo 30 YO White port - TWIOA: Quevedo 40 YO Tawny (2015 bottled) - Colheita: 1983 Niepoort (from Magnum, ex-cellars brought by Dirk to the Port event in Leverkusen Nov 3rd) - Vintage: tie between 1977 Warre and 1983 Niepoort (from Magnum,...

1996 Taylor's Vargellas VP (0,375 ml bottle), my last one of these.

1997 Cálem VP (case of 6)

1992 Kopke Quinta S. Luis VP

For wines, I still have some reds and whites that were bought in may 2007 (2005 Bordeaux red and monbazillac white). For Ports, I started buying (and collecting) in 2007 (2005 Vintage, since my oldest son is from 2005). I received my first 2005 VP's in november (still have all of these). And my spre...

Thanks for the note on such a rare beast Gerwin. Lovely colour and a great result for an LBV with the full six years before bottling. Clearly a commercial style that turned out well. As for you Andy, I feel somehow that you should be one to taste my only 1973 vintage "port", the inverted ...
