More or less, yes. I keep a casual eye out for 1964s and grab 'em whenever they're at a decent price. These were $120 each which is the lowest I've seen them in a couple of years.Eric Menchen wrote:Birthday present for yourself? Happy birthday!Glenn E. wrote:3 x 1964 Krohn Colheita Blanco

2000 Porto Rocha LBV. An odd bottle I found in a B&M wine store. I cannot find a TN for any LBV for any year for Porto Rocha here or even TPF...so therefore I had to buy it. Only $24 with tax.

1970 Dows
1985 Taylor
1985 Borges & Irmao
1961 Noval Crusted (which is really a single year, but bottled in 1964--so close to a VP) and for a guy born in 1961, a real thrill since there aren't many.

2011 VPS: 3x Taylor, 3x Fonseca, 6x Smith Woodhouse, 6x Quinta do Vesuvio.
I'm waiting for Roy's notes to figure out what else to get. Cockburn's has received positive reviews around here, Warres is usually a favorite of Marijke & me, and Noval usually shows up at one of the local b&ms for a good price, so those are all candidates.

1 x 1980 Gould Campbell @ $57.5 (it's my birth year and this is the v first bottle I've found at a reasonable price)
2 x 1955 Burmester Colheita - bottled 1973 @ $110
Quite the gamble w the Burmester. They've been in bottle forever and the bottles aren't in great shape (some seepage, oxidized capsule).
Winebid misclassified them as being vintage bottles, pricing them v low for that reason. There was a 3rd bottle but someone else must have found the misclassificarion, put up a fight and won. That 3rd bottle went for $160.
Thinking of opening the Burmester bottles at my 2nd son's 1st birthday party. Planning perhaps too far ahead, as he'll only be born this coming January!

1977 Barros colheita, bottled 2002 (gifted).
Sadly, I had at least one other port meant for me, but after being told her luggage weighed too much my wife thought she could sneak liquids past security at the airport. Tonight some lucky checkpoint Charlie is drinking my port. Small consolation that the port was a gift from my wife's relations who probably didn't buy top-notch or even middle tier. But maybe this time they did ... I'll never know.

The 1977 Barros Colheita is one of the good ones from that year. Not on par (IMO) with the Porto Rocha, but an easy peer of the Kopke. And no, that's not a typo. For the 1977 vintage I prefer the Porto Rocha to the Kopke and Barros.
The truly sad part of it is that all of those wines are now gone... as I recall they bottled the last of the stocks in 2006 by accident.
