S. Leonardo 20 Year Old White Port, 2020 bottling, sitting by the fire place, and my wife preparing diner in the kitchen. Yes, life can be great!

40 Year Old Kopke Tawny Port. Finally obtained a bottle of the 2008 DR Colheita to write about. I've had it on tour once and possibly once at Glenn's home too. But I need fresh notes from a few days of observation and pleasurably tasting. Are you referring to DR’s WHITE colheita 2008? One of my aff...

And today with friends Taylor’s 10yo Tawny and Heritage’s 30yo Tawny, plus the balance of yesterdays S. Leonardo’s, by far our favourite!

My last bottle of DR white colheita 2008. Elisabete Almeida told me that they’ve run out of 2008 stock now. Luckily there’s plenty of 2010!

Andresen LBV 2017, unfiltered. Much to my surprise there was no depot/sediment at all, in spite of using cheese cloth as a filter.

- Graham's 2020 @ € 198,- Ouch! But I just looked at wine-searcher.com, and that's better than the prices I found in the U.S. Normally the prices in the UK are by far the lowest, followed by the USA… I have just added the various websites to my previous message. If you consider to order in Europe, ...

A great 0,375 bottle of Dow 2000, followed by a nice bottle of Niepoort crusted 2011 bottling. Wrong order!

At the moment you can buy then for € 267.96 at Garrafeira Nacional, Black Friday 20% discount (normal price €334.95) Unfortunately their prices do not include VAT. So add another 23% to this price (EC countries only). Sorry, but that is incorrect! All their prices include VAT and I am completely su...

Did the price of Stone Terraces essentially double for you, too? Suggested retail price in the US increased from $225 to $545! US$ 225?? That was a bargain! Lowest price in Europe (including appr. 20% VAT/Sales Tax) was around US$ 300. I bought nine bottles in three different batches and paid betwe...

Very old bottling, a bit tricky, but at a good price (less than € 50,- per bottle) 40+ + 40+ (just about on the second one). Yes, I'd take a try at that price point. And since you have multiple bottles, it might be fun to try refreshing one with a small bit of younger stuff. I’ll probably open one ...
