$1908 Guedes Port of the Vintage.

$Constantino, opened at Quinta do Crasto September 2010. Three very old bottles enjoyed at their birthplace, the Quinta. The NV Roncao, the 1920 we are pretty sure was a colheita, and the 1958 had a cork branded \"Crasto 1958\" and we all were 99% sure it was a Vintage Port and not a Colheita. That was a real surprise when I opened it. Everyone one was very good in it's own right. Uploaded by: Andy Velebil$

$1973 Casa de Sta Eufemia White Colheita. Due to some obscure law, the date is not allowed on this bottle. However, the back label says that it is \"more than 30 years old\" and it is well known that this is no mere Special Reserve Tawny. Uploaded by: Glenn E.$
