Re: What Port(s) have you purchased this week?
US$ 225?? That was a bargain! Lowest price in Europe (including appr. 20% VAT/Sales Tax) was around US$ 300. I bought nine bottles in three different batches and paid between US$ 300 and US$ 325 each. On Winesearcher one can still find them for this price in the UK, Denmark and Portugal. There is s...

Re: What have you opened this week?
1991 Warre VP. Bottles vary, but none bad. This example looked really old, but with good clarity. 1991 or 1891, had to take a 2nd look.

Re: What have you opened this week?
The 85 Taylor was terrific on nights 2 and 3. I mentioned opening one to a friend that hadn't tried one in a while. He opened one too with similar results. No rush to consume this vintage.

Re: What have you opened this week?
Last night was 1985 Taylor. Amazed how dark and primary looking the port is. Barely any sediment cork is still youthful. The port is a closed phase. Similar to how 1985 Fonseca has been showing recently. This port looks to be a long time hold.

Re: 2011 Fonseca LBV Port Unfiltered
As much as I like their VP; Fonseca LBV and Tawny are not that appealing to me. Same for Graham.

Re: What have you opened this week?
Quite generous to open a near case of port and expensive ones at that. I hope they appreciate your sportiness.

If the tongs were used, I crush the neck to view a perfect cork.Eric Menchen wrote: ↑Thu Sep 07, 2023 12:14 pm I think a couple of the bottles on my shelf in that photo were tonged. You usually can carefully sit the top back on in place. If that doesn't work, a little tape or glue would probably be sufficient.

Re: What have you opened this week?
There's not a set criteria for what I keep. Old helps, but I've opened old bottles with a simple typed label that don't make the cut. Cool looking, did I really enjoy the wine, do I want to reminisce about it again for some reason. There's another section with non-dessert wines, and then a group of...
