Andy Velebil wrote:No clue on when it was released. There are some very nice Ports from this vintage, though VP/SQVP's from '86 are a bit tough to find. I'd suspect it should be getting near ready to start enjoying them.

(Edit: found some notes including my own. I wouldn't hold them too much longer. Drink sooner rather than later)
Thanks Andy :thumbsup:
I've learned they were released at least 10 years ago. So I will put these on the "to open list" in the coming years [cheers.gif] . The only other 1986 I have had before is Taylor's Q de Vargellas (still have 3 of those), which was and is drinking quite nicely as well.

Taylor 2009 VP - 6 bottles at $51/ea - a screaming deal for this wine, especially considering that this was at our local grocery store.

1 case of 2002 Taylor's Quinta de Vargellas Vintage Port. Because every father needs to put down a case for their children's birth year. We couldn't have picked a more difficult year, but Taylor will appreciate these some day and I do plan and we've discussed that I will only share one bottle with her at some point.

Ordering some stuff from GN for the port club. So when there was free shipping I added 3 budget bottles for myself. Around 25 euros each.

1 x 2004 Quinta do Bomfim
2 x 2004 Quinta dos Malvedos

Look forward to tasting these

1x 2003 Heitz Grignolino California Port
3 x 2000 Niepoort VP
2x 1994 Warres VP
1x 1977 Warres VP
2x 1970 Fonseca VP

*edit, as I was going to Napa to pick up my order, I checked Benchmark site as it is across the street from Winebid. What popped up was 2 bottles of Sandeman 40YO bottled 2013, $109. It's not real hard to find, but at that price I had to have it.

I've never seen that with any bottle before, Allan. What on earth is it? Message in a bottle?
