For The Love Of Port

The 1982 Nacional tends to be one of the weaker Nacionals. Given the choice, there are quite a few other Nacional vintages that might provide more joy on the palate.

I just checked my cellar software and my longest complete vertical is of Noval Nacional. This vertical spans the period from 1960 to present. Apparently I also have an almost complete vertical of Taylor from 1955 to present, but there are a couple of holes that need to be filled. Marc, I have some ...

To be honest, I was not looking towards building a Noval Nacional vertical but a few months ago I was looking at my cellar software and I noticed that I was just 4 bottles short of a vertical. I was missing the 1962, 1964, 1980 & the 1999. A couple of days after this a 1962 became available and ...

I’m still in and I am looking forward to it! Something casual on Friday and a more formal tasing on Saturday would work for me. Bottles can be decided later on once we determine the format for each evening.

Count me in! Depending on the what is needed, I could bring an older tawny to help fill out the lineup for one of the nights and possibly a nice VP for the other night.

Ramos-Pinto 30 year old. I found this to be a quite nice 30 year old. I've had this wine quite a few times, but this particular bottle was exceptionally smooth and the secondary notes just sang!

1950 Burmester Colheita x 2
1960 Sandeman VP

I have a very flexible schedule, so with enough advance notice I can probably make it work....

1966 Fonseca VP

1960 Niepoort Colheita

Taylor Fladgate 40 Y.O. - always a favorite!

1964 Grahams Malvedos VP

I'd say that the oddest port in my cellar would bae a bottle of 1955 Brizard Roma. Other oddballs would include some bottles of Feuerheerd Commadador, a Ramos-Pinto White Colheita and some Nicolau de Almeida from the mid-1800's.

I'm in!!!! I do have a number of the Ports that you're still looking for (Niepoort, Rebello Valente, Guedes, Delaforce, ect.), so if needed I can contibute to the cause.

1 x 1945 Rebello Valente VP

Great name!!! Congratulations!

At this point my longest vertical is of Taylor, from 1900 to 2007 (almost..I'm still looking for 1940 & 1942!) I also have a complete vertical of Grahams from 1955-2007, as well as a Warres vertical from 1958-2007. Just curious, but do you (or you, Moses) have the '57 and '58? Like I said above...

There is a 1938 Niepoort Garrafeira - no doubt about it. I haven't had the opportunity to sample it, but I have seen several bottles of it over the last couple of years.
