I picked it up on the island, May of 2017, from the gift shop of some mountain-top lodge. Nowadays a purchase of such a wine done on the island is an interesting task due to continously performed "adaption" of prices. D'Oliveira relatively aggressively raises the prices for the old bottle...

I believe Ricardo wishes to be precise in the designation of a wine's origin. You are right, Ricardo is always stating with accuracy what is being bottled. FV is for Favilla Vieira a grower family with several vineyards. If Ricardo knows it's from the Ribeiro Real Vineyard, he'll call it RR. If fro...

and some RR

Hi Glen! QdS: was at Camara do Lobos & belonged to the Henriques. First bottled end of 1980ies; I am not aware of a later bottling although the bottlings exist in a variety of labels, stencils, handwritings on the bottle's front. I was surprised to see 14 different QdSs on CT and even some recen...

Hi! To all experts out there I was wondering about the different "lines" that our highly-appreciated producer has been bottling. I have in mind: - regular "Barbeito" - Quinta do Serrado - MMV - MVB - FV Does anyone have an idea or knowledge about the distinctions or in which peri...

An interesting topic Glenn, So many things I'd like to say as well. I'll try to keep it short and concise. It is really hard to compare what will happen with Ports produced nowadays vs those we have been lucky enough to sample from the 30's 40's. A few facts to consider -Back in the days, Vintage w...

Trying do drink the mid-aged VPs, and at the same time avoiding infanticide. Thus, have not purchased anything young except Colheitas and Crusteds (we love the Niepoort Crusted Bioma VV, bottled 2014 for its price of ~25) List of post 2000VPs 2017 Quinta do Noval Porto Vintage Port Blend 12 2011 Qui...

unfortunately I only have 115 bottles of this left... Let’s assume that you bought 120 bottles at the Christie’s sale in December 2021 and took delivery in January 2022. That means you’ve had the bottles for 3 years and you’ve drunk 5 bottles. You had better be careful! Start planning now. You will...

Update:

"Companhia Regional de Exportacão de Vinhos Da Madeira" was part of Justino's.

1870 Adega Exportadora da Vinhos Madeira Malmsey. I was not expecting much. Not familar with the producer. But it is excellent. Eric, are you sure it was "Adega Exportadora da Vinhos" and not "Companhia Regional de Exportacão de Vinhos Da Madeira"? The first one is a Borges affi...

bump.

I wonder if anyone out "there" has this in their collection or maybe tasted this.
