I am thinking of buying a couple of these, but i have not seen any recent reviews of it and was wondering if anyone has had any experiences with this particular port? Any information would be appreciated. Thanks

So far, on this site, Q.d.C. has had a somewhat qualified reception.

'87 should be promising year, but I'd buy one bottle only, and leave it overnight in decanter before judging it..

Andy,
Based on the good performance of their wood port from that year (1987 Warre's Reserve Tawny), I think it would be worth a try. Let us know what you find. :wink:

I also have seen this wine for $20.00 per btl and was wondering if anyone has tried it.

Thanks

At $20 a bottle I would try one. I've had the 1988 QdC and that was perfectly decent. I've had a couple of '87 single quinta ports and one of them (the Quinta da Tua) was very enjoyable, the other was perfectly good.
