David, that's not Port. :scholar:

I grabbed one bottle each of 2003 and 2005 Quinta do Noval LBV @ $22 each for the sake of FTLOP Newsletter tasting notes.

That is port - it's just not been fortified yet. Port made the traditional way before it started to be fortified, like in the early to mid-1700s.

Or perhaps we should invent a new category of port called "Late Fortified"?


OK. It's been a long, hard day today!

So what you are saying is we all should get some Aguardente and some Portuguese wine, then combine the two ourselves. Then have a Virtual Tasting to chart the results? [help.gif]

Or, just skip over the just crushed grape juice and sip some 80-100 year old Aguardente!

Or how about an original stlye "Port Kit." I'm sure some on here will remember as I do, getting you computer as bits & pieces that you had to put together. Some people still do that today with computers, so why not with port? :stir: , :stir: , :stir:
