Here's an interesting note - since the topic of serial numbers on bottles and the corresponding significance of these numbers has come up in a number of threads I've done a bit a research to find out EXACTLY what was the significance of these numbers. I started a dialogue with the President of the I...

Alex, Alright I've done a through examination of the bottle and I really can't see anything that might distinguish it as being a Nacional. The wax capsule is slightly chipped on top so I can't tell if there was a distinctive mark that might identify it. The bottle is very dark and even with a strong...

I'd vote for either a 20 or 30 y.o. tawny. If I'm ordering a port after a meal in a nice restaurant I would probably not order a 10 y.o. or LBV(great for everyday drinking, but not exactly special) nor a 40 y.o. (too expensive - $80.00/glass in local restaurants, plus I'm certain that these bottles ...

Mackenzie '63
I have a bottle of Mackenzie '63 that I'm planning on opening in the near future and I was wondering if anyone had any tasting notes for this particular wine. From what I can tell, Mackenzie ceased operations sometime in the 60's - does anyone know what became of this port house?

Ricardo, Athough not classic wines, both the Dow's '77 as well as the Graham's '77 are well made, powerful ports. You might want to consider buying a bottle of each and holding a small port tasting. These two shippers styles are on opposite ends of the spectrum so it might make for an interesting ev...

Derek, Thanks for the post! I as well have some NN in my cellar I was think of opening one in the near future and I believe that your experiences indicate that allocating proper decanting time is essential. Hummm...4 hours seems long for a 45+ year old wine, but I'll be sure to give it a taste every...
