Graham's 2006 LBV - not bad, but I prefer the Delaforce '77 that I opened last week.

1974 Taylor Vargellas VP
Re: What have you opened this week?
Dow's 1997 VP
I think this one is going through it's adolescent age period, but still quite nice.

Kopke 1980 VP, to be stood up right today and to be opened (and enjoyed ) tomorrow in celebration of our 3,5 years wedding anniversary.
Any thoughts on the decant time? I was thinking about 5-7 hours (won't know exactly the decanting time, since we are going out for dinner first and I am planning to enjoy the VP once we get home again).

Slowly sipping a 30 year old Ramos Pinto Tawny Port during two NFL games. The first game scored as high as this Port!

Morrison's own brand (cheapish supermarket in the UK) 2006 LBV : £9 (~$14) made by the "Symmington Family Estates" (suspect one of their lesser concerns) - this has been my "little find" of the 2011 xmas period - for the money; bloody lovely!!
