2000 Taylor Fladgate LBV Port
Three days later, even straight from the refrigerator, this port has a more open flavor, some fruit, more evenly spiced from the first taste on the tongue to its finish. It's still rather dry, not buttery. I'll probably buy some more bottles of this, if I can find space for them. This tasting note i...

2000 Taylor Fladgate LBV Port
After 24 hours in the refrigerator, the LBV tasted very similar, maybe a bit less spicy when at close to those temperatures. I then poured a second glass and let it warm up to 70 degrees. I tasted some jam fruit flavors then but a much hotter back of the mouth taste. It was much better at refrigerat...

2000 Taylor Fladgate LBV Port
I chilled this in my wine cellar overnight to 50 degrees (F!) and am tasting / drinking it now in a Spiegelau Port glass as a post prandial after cleaning my palate with water. I did not decant it. As I started pouring it, the color started as purplish, then became darker with maroon around the edge...

NV Fonseca Bin 27 Port
So I'm late tasting the Fonseca Bin 27 and I get the benefit of reading your reviews first. I bought a 375 ml bottle and took it in an igloo on a trip so it was still moderately cellar cool. When I opened it the T-cap cork crumbled, not a good sign. The first evening, it had kind of a funky taste, f...

storing aged tawny
How do you store open (re-corked) aged tawny? Refrigerator? Cabinet? Wine cellar (but that's horizontal)?
I've been storing it in the refrigerator, but it gets too cold there and requires waiting for it to warm before drinking.

Hi Rick, With a name like oporto cafe, you absolutely must have Ports. Where in Houston is the wine bar (assuming Roy doesn't mind the advert, I don't)? I'd visit it if it has Ports. I'd assume your Krohn is a Colheita. You might want to add an LBV (filtered for ease of serving) and a 10 year tawny ...

Firefox and frames
First of all, Roy, always a great and informative site. I am always impressed with your knowledge about port. The new forum UI format has a few issues with Firefox. There are two scroll bars on the side, Firefox's and the web site frame's, which makes it a little difficult to scroll down especially ...

Do you drink port in the summer?
Do you drink port in the summer in a hot and humid clime? If so, what styles do you prefer for either ordinary drinking or special occasions in hot weather?
It seems like the VP's are better suited to much cooler or even cold weather. I suppose white port or tawnies are a possibility.

The Niepoort site would be better if the pictures were in compressed JPG instead of TIF. Those 150 MB files take a l...o...n...g time to download.

If it is deliberate, advertising the other Jose Maria Fonseca as Fonseca would be very deceptive. I hope the seller makes it right for you, and corrects their web site for others. I don't have an account over on the Mark Squires board but that's where I saw this. Perhaps someone who has an account t...
