Re: Don't shoot the messenger ... Vintage Port offer
Gould Campbell 1977 Gould Campbell Vintage Port 1.5 L - 8 avail at $299.50 - 84 pts This has to be a typo... it should probably be 94 points, especially from magnum! To think that I snagged 7 of these for $120 each two years ago, and another one for $240 this summer... I bought one a year ago, 1.5 ...

Re: CellarTracker
So when do you plan to open one of your 12 bottles of 1983 Ramos Pinto, Moses? I had one a couple of months ago; great vintage. Pretty even between 80,83,85 with Ramos. They've really fall off with representation on VP around here. Never see Ramos Pinto VP at store. Use to be the one you'd see for ...

Re: 1853 Whitwham Porto Millennium- Reserve King Pedro V
I have a handful of these. I believe they were just bottled by Niepoort. Haven't tried one in over a decade.
Saving for port fans should they ever come by.

Re: What have you opened this week?
A couple of nights before Christmas we opened an '85 Ferreira. Finished on Christmas night and then pop and pour '80 Sandeman. There's a couple of glasses left for tonight. Initially, it tasted a bit primary, but we were half-in-the-bag when opened. Seems like there's a lot of life in it.

Re: Noval Nacional 1982
'85 Noval is better than any of the 80's Nacional's I have tried. '85 Noval is not a top flight port for the vintage either.

1970 Noval VP on Sunday. Went down quick. [kez_11.gif] What are your thoughts about it? I only have one bottle of it. One of the best of ports of the vintage, for sure top 5-6. Great color and powerful. Similar results with a bottle from the same case about a year ago. Racing against the wife to ge...

Re: What have you opened this week?
So sad to break the necks off very old bottles. Prefer to push the cork in and bag it out in one piece and keep the old bottle intact. Hopefully it shows well. I tend to do them on an old bottle only if there's a question of "is it really what the label says". I am too impatient to use to...

Re: Decant advice for 2 Ports
I am on the side with Glenn on this for an event. Those bottles will be gone in no time so they need be ready at first sip.
I pop and pour virtually everything. Even an hour or two in has its merit. I don't think that is phase you arm aiming for on this occasion.

Re: What have you opened this week?
Friday, we opened an '85 Gould Campbell VP. Basic fresh grape taste on pop and pour. Last night was marvelous. Super long finish and wonderful floral and tangerine nose. Reallyt special port. Has to be one of the best of the vintage. Expecting to finish the bottle today.
