Re: What Port(s) have you purchased this week?
Over the Christmas period I received 4 bottles of Port:
Kopke 1996 vintage port
Kopke 1999 colheita, bottled 2017
Crasto 2013 LBV, bottled 2017
Smith Woodhouse Madalena 1998
The Crasto will likely be opened in the next couple of weeks. Should be a very tasty cellar defender.

Ooh, very nice! I loved that when they first released it.Roy Hersh wrote:3 bottles of 1995 Smith Woodhouse LBV
Do you know if these are old bottles, or if they've released another batch?

2004 Quinta do Noval Nacional for $330. I love store coupons that are a mistake but still honored.

Re: What Port(s) have you purchased this week?
Is the Noval the Single Quinta version? (If yes usually has red letter saying Single Quinta on label). Either way it has always shown decently or better for me.Ivan P wrote:2012 Graham's LBV

It says "Single Vineyard" in white letters but "Unfiltered" is written in red.John M. wrote: Is the Noval the Single Quinta version? (If yes usually has red letter saying Single Quinta on label). Either way it has always shown decently or better for me.

1987 Feist VP. Only $40 so I took a flyer - (most TNs for Feist in those years under 90) yet a 32 year old VP so well worth a try.
