Re: What Unopened Bottle Have You Had in Your Cellar the Longest?
2000 Graham's Vintage. I picked this up on my first trip to Portugal at the Graham's lodge. My first Port ever purchased, and still sitting in my cellar.

1967 Quinta da Romaneira Colheita, bottled in 1995. Sadly, my last bottle of this.

Re: What have you opened this week?
Another 1987 Souza VP. Still drinking well and a lovely Port for the price.

Re: What have you opened this week?
2003 Porto Rocha Vintage Port from a 375ml bottle. Pop-n-pour and drank over 2 days (yeah I know … why did it take 2 days to finish a half bottle?) A little better on the 2nd day. Very fruity and drinking quite nicely now.

1994 Smith Woodhouse Colheita, bottled 2011. On the sweet side, but nice.

Re: What have you opened this week?
2003 Porto Rocha Vintage Port (half bottle.) Perfect for just me and my wife, since we can finish a half bottle over 2 days. This is drinking well, now, but still has a few more years of aging (my guess: 5-7 years) left in it. I also just noted that this is the first 'new' Port I have had since Octo...

1992 Taylor VP from a 375ml. Inky purple, fruity, young and delicious!

Re: What have you opened this week?
1992 Taylor ... An overrated wine. Hmmm, sorry to hear that for us both. I have a few (perhaps luckily not many) in the cellar. I might need to try one instead of holding on to these for longer as planned. I have quite a few halves of this Vintage. I was waiting to open, well … because it's Taylor....

Re: What have you opened this week?
1987 Souza VP. I was worried at first as there was an unpleasant musty aroma when I pulled the cork. Fortunately, this blew off in a few minutes and the Port was as good as previous showings.

Re: 1952 Delaforce Colheita Port
I've had a couple of these over the years, and my experience was similar to yours. Sadly, I am out of them, but have fond memories.

Re: What Is The Lowest Scoring Port In Your Cellar?
1988 Taylor Vargellas. Maybe it will be better in 20 years, so I am holding onto it.

Re: What have you opened this week?
1976 Noval Colheita. Sadly, my last bottle of this. This one was bottled in 2008 and is the last of 4 bottles drank over the past 7 years. All purchased at the same time and stored exactly the same. This final bottle was the best of the 4, having mellowed a bit (better integrated, less prominent hea...

Re: 2019 Ports: With 2 weeks left, what were your favorites?
VP: 1970 Graham's: Still one of my favorite VPs. Nearly up there with the 1963 Fonseca.
Tawny: 60 yr S. Leonardo. Pleased to still have 2 bottles left, that I am being very stingy with.
Looking forward to another great Port year in 2020!

Roy, I read the newsletter with special interest in your assessment of the 2017 vintages. After reading the process you undertake in coming to your ratings and notes, I am very impressed. And, writing up all of this in a time of crisis for your family is truly inspiring. I, for one, am grateful for ...

Re: What have you opened this week?
1970 Graham. Very nice, and this bottle was likely at peak drinking but would probably have stayed there for some time.

Re: 2017 Vintage Ports from The Fladgate Partnership
I have bought from Schneider's somewhat frequently as they are 1 of 2 'local' places with a decent Port selection (including a 1927 Fonseca a couple of years ago that was quite nice.) The other is MacArthur Wines, also in DC. Thanks for reminding me, Roy, that I need to take another trip. Most recen...
