What have you opened this week?

[John M.]

A bottle of Taylor's Vargellas 1967. I pulled a case out of storage and one was leaking, down to low shoulder. Opened this evening it is absolutely gorgeous!
It just isn't lasting very long!

If this is how the bad bottle tastes I am in for a real treat next year when I plan to open 2-3 of them.

Love this one, too. Oporto bottled or UK? 1969 or 1970?

Oporto bottled in 1970, with a lovely old fashioned label that says so.

Barros Very Old Dry White

Let me know what you think of it. I have a Porto Rocha Very Old Dry White and have always wondered whether or not it's really all that dry.

They should. You were spoiling them with a great port

[Allan Engelsted Laurents]

3 bottles went down to celebrate pentacosta.
1966 Barros Colheita; a little on the sweet side
30 YO Sandeman bottled in 1980; a fantastic bottle!
Italian bottling, a tappit hen from 'The Douro-shippers"; My guess an 50 year old Tawny. Still alive and fresh. I enjoy, when the older bottlings turns out to be a pleasant surprise.

Just back from vacation with no internet for 95% of it...nice being out of touch for a bit. Like the old days :)

While gone I opened a 1977 Smith Woodhouse VP and a 1968 Krohn's Colheita. Both showed fantastically and the SW is still very youthful.
