Sandeman 20-yr old Tawny. Purchased on 34th Street in Manhattan because it was the only bottle of reasonable Port I could find!

During my week in London (not counting about 45 bottles of 1963 VP, a slew of 1970 VP's, and a bunch of others which people opened going back to an 1863 Burmester which was bottled in 1932 and rebottled in 1942)

Martinez Crusted Port bottled in 1973
1966 Fonseca VP
1958 Martinez VP
1970 Warre's VP

and some rare Douro wines I'll post in that Forum.

2009 Pocas Junior VP
2005 Gould Campbell LBV (Same as #2, just wanted to see how our scores and notes differred)
2004 Q. do Noval LBV....cooked,...Hate when that happens

WOTN was the 2007 GC VP--runner up was tied: the Pocas or the Porto Rocha.

Niepoort 2003 LBV (bottled 2007);

For later today, a Nicola de Almeida 1967 VP is standing up for decanting and consumption this evening. Seems a fitting choise for a nice evening as the Autumn storm is roaring itself around here.
:D
