Do you know how the Niepoort Dry White Port is? This is the only white from Niepoort in Norway.

Andy. Yes, thanks all is well. Wine is my proffesion and hobby, but I have familiar duties, like to take my son skiing, to soccer practice etc... He he only 24 hours in a day. I am very impressed with the FTLOP site. Amazing job you have done. I of course will be a lifelong member if you let me, eve...

This is really a secret wine. I hope not too many reads this TN. One of my all time favorite port wines, and it`s a white one. It is very complex and so integrated everything. The color is light to dark brown, you know the point where red wines and aged white wines has the same color. Amazing stuff....

Grapes: 85% TOURIGA NACIONAL, 15% BAGA Color: dark red, violet, good depth. Nose: Exiting nose, I am using a Riedel Bordeaux Grand Cru glass, because the Riedel Chianti/Zinfandel glass was to small to give this wine the complex picture it has. Mature dark berries like black cherry and black plum, an...

Yes, that sounds like spot on. Getting hungry now, have to go to the kitchen.

Members. I tried the 40 years old in 2002 while visiting Noval, an amazing wine, and yes I remeber the little redish golden copperlike color, a quite vibrant wine, full of life and energy, awsome complexity too. Great longlasting acidity. Unusual for me with my references, the youthness in this old ...

Roy. Thanks for your kind words, I am sure I am not worthy......... :) The :ftlop: is by far the best site for port on Tellus. I will try to be here as much as I can. The knowledge of the members is awsome, so I always learn a lot. I quote myself: "the more you know about wine, the more you rea...

Frederick. I totaly agree. :) I am of course guessing when I say the LBV will make 20 years, but I at least think it will be better and more in balance in lets say 5 years from now. Difficult to match with food, if it isnt a powerful and fat dish with game. Reindeer and a creamed sauce would be perf...

Erik. I am having the LBV 2003 right now. It has quite a lot of tannins, and I think it will develope nice for many years to come. I did not taste the Vintage 2003, but usually they have a much tougher structure than the LBVs. I think the Noval LBV will last for many years, I have actualy suggested ...

Unfiltered Grapes: TOURIGA NACIONAL, TOURIGA FRANCESA OG TINTA RORIZ. Color: Very dark red, violet, black,deep. Nose: Concentrated ripe black cherry, black plum going on prune, almonds, almost marsipan, some syrup beef stock, hazelnuts and some walnuts, mocca, black pepper, slightly of violet or ros...

Quite perfumed aromas of cherry, violets and tea.
Very fruity and intens, great structure and freshness. Quite elegant.
As this is the same producer as for Gould-Campbell it has some of the same picture.
The wine is closed and needs 10-30 years.

I just had the VP 2000, and I think it has great potential, closed down now, but it has a very good balance. I think it will be a quite elegant wine in 20-30 years.

I think the wax makes a big mess, has to be opened over the kitchen sink. Its everywhere after in a meters radius. I guess its good for preserving the wine, letting no air in or out of the bottle. Why dont they just use softer wax like on the Tokaji bottles, much easier to handle?

As you may know the Madeira wines have a potential to age for many years some maybe for 200 or more. This wine is made from the Verdelho grape which means traditionally that the wine is dry or medium dry. This wine has some sweetness, but the aging provides us with a lot of different dried fruits an...

Had a magnum bottle of this some years back, but unfortunatly it had gone bad. Would really like to taste a new bottle, sounds awsome this port.

Thanks for the note, one of my favorite 20 years old tawnies. However I have always tasted the latest bottlings, has been some years now since the last zip of this good wine.

Thanks for the note, I will look out for this one.

I decanted for about 3 hours.
