Re: What Port(s) have you purchased this week?
2 magnums of 2005 Fonseca Guimaraens VP.
I've been looking for a long time to find a (any) 2005 VP, as it's my oldest son's birthyear. So one of these will go to him, the other will maybe be opened at an apropiate time by me
When I got them home today, they stated on the labels that these magnums were numbers 3 respectively 11 of 12 mags in total bottled especially for The Netherlands. Gives it something extra special in my book!

Re: What Port(s) have you purchased this week?
Hi Bradley
Sadly no notice on the label.
In fact. I have never seen a Colheita, without a note showing the bottlingdate.
The bottle has the old selo IVP, telling me the date of the bottling was early 1970.
Truely an amazing bottle. It has been kept well for more than 45 years.
Some years ago when this lovely Lady of mine turned 50 (2013), I had a lineup with Ports from 1963, and the winner (besides me) was a Feist Colheita 1963!

Re: What Port(s) have you purchased this week?
Hi! I´m new to this forum, and also very new to port in general, although I suspect I´m beginning to get just as hooked as the rest of you seem to be...
Just got back from the local shop with these:
- Quinta de Val da Figueira 10 year
- Roze´s LBV 2003
It will be my first LBV (have also yet to try a vintage or colheita). Exciting!

Mads, yes you can link but its better and tends to get more response if you post (or also cross post) in the marketplace section.
And good haul for both of you!

Re: What Port(s) have you purchased this week?
Two old bottlings of Taylor 30 YO (1973)
One funny White Tawny from Wiese & Krohn,
And one of my alltime favorites, the very dry old from Niepoort.
