I've got a 1940 Colheita from Burmester that I hope to work up the guts to open within the month. Picked it up from them on my last (and only) trip to Portugal.
I actually had the chance to have a taste of this at the port house and it was so impressive I checked the price on my international blackberry and then went ahead and bought a bottle and thank god it survived the trip home!

I had the 1940 Colheita along with the 40YO Kopke, 1967 Colheita Kopke and 20YO Calem a while ago with a friend from sogevinus (António Montenegro) and man, those were some of the best Ports i've ever had. The 40 from burmester and the 67 from kopke were impressive in al senses.
Best regards,

Sandra, good to see you here. Were your ears burning? Mario and I were speaking of you and our next visit in May, although I don't know if you will be back in Portugal at that time. Did you get my recent email?

Falei com o Jack Couto do Grape Moments (O Mario deu-me o email do Jack), mas eu nunca recebi os nomes das lojas que pôde vender o tawny. Não faz mal...
Hope all is well!

Thanks for the info. I could have sworn I checked WineSearcher a few weeks ago and came up empty...
Thanks again!
