at that price you can't really go wrong

hit wrong button so edit: with this very nice bottle. Last I had it I recall it being in the 90-91 point range IIRC with good aging potential.

Not a ton of info--mostly in the 90-92 range with nice descriptions--but seems like you need to cellar it for a few more years, too.

Hey, to quote RH....it's a VP for under $30, what else do you need? Just say "Thank You" and "How many can I buy?"

I just saw some 2003 Smith Woodhouse at this same price (ok, $.11 more) in a retail shop in my area. People were standing beside me and looking for something for Valentine's Day. They were looking at an older Colheita that was nearly $300. I told them the one they were looking at was a beauty, but also pointed to the SW and said, "this is the best bargain of all the Ports in this shop, grab a couple if you can afford to." They did take three bottles, and still went for the Kopke.

So, again under $40 for a well known producer in a good vintage ... just be happy you've found something that affordable that can be enjoyed for years to come. At under $30 for a 750 ml bottle of VP with the same two qualifiers ... the only question should be ... how many?
