For The Love Of Port

..., the idea of scoring a port terrifies me. I can't tell how much i score a port because i have my own "score standart". At the start (about 7 years ago) i thought that the variability of scores (WA,WS, etc.) were too tiny. So i made my own standart. My scores are between 75 and 95 (my ...

I opened that bottle with my wife, my father and my step-father. On the nose it was rich and concentrated on wood, nuts, maple sugar... but there was an impression of cooked and strong alcool that was not really funny. But it was good. In mouth it was like nose. Not too deep. It was good but i don't...

Crasto - I still believe their LBVs are the best value of any port, in any category. Smith-Woodhouse - Love the fact they hold back LBVs and release them with a bit of age. Wonderful wines. Niepoort - I agree with John, tough to find but excellent LBVs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalkz. U Last y...

Thanks for the answer.

I have search i and found nothing about the type of grappe that goes on port. I explain... I know that in the Vintage port that's the best grappes in the best years that go into it. The grappes that go for the LBV are less "qualitative" than the Vintage. But what decided what grappes go in...

Wow you have great bottles for the new year (and the people to drink it). Some people in my familly and friends lke port but not like us (in quantity or quality) so i'm always the only one you think to open a bottle of port. I had just one bottle of port for the holidays. Taylor Fladgate LBV 2010 . ...

Louis, [welcome.gif] to FTLOP and thank you for posting on New Year's Day. Your intro is great. Please know that many of us are big fans of LBV too . They deliver 3/4+ of the pleasure of a fine Vintage Port at about 1/3 the price. The QPR is fantastic and drinking LBV allows your young Vintage Port...

I did not find a section to introduce myself so i'll do it quick here. I like port since 5 or 6 years. My cousin bring me a Taylor Fladgate 10 years tawny and since this time i started to love port. But i really start to love port since 2 years. Probably because of the 2011 vintage. The story of por...

Okay you got me. I'll try my best. I read you since 2 or 3 years. I like to read all (especially the "dead" guest corner). The main reason why i dont write here it's because of my English (i speak french). I'm not too bad to read english (slowly) but to write in English i'm sure ill have a...
