Wow you guys are on an absolute tear this week.
QVDM Reserva, Lote 14 - I enjoy the Port of this house, they are not world beaters by any means but I find that they have a high floor.

Re: What have you opened this week?
Pocas 30 year-old Tawny for the Virtual Tasting run by a member of the UK based forum. These are always excellent.

1981 Kopke Colheita.
Re: What have you opened this week?
Quinta do Noval 2005 Colheita for the virtual tasting that Mike refers to.
Croft 2004 LBV (a half bottle cellar defender - but these are just fabulous).
And today a bottle of Berry Brothers Own Selection 1977 ( by Quarles Harris), which are still so primary.

Re: What have you opened this week?
2005 Fonseca Quinta do Panascal
Was good after 2-3 hours of decant time, but the alcohol toned down and the body improved after that, so give it more time.

2005 Taylor’s Quinta de Vargellas VP. Still fruity, some secondary nuances but still has lots of life left. Yummy!
