For The Love Of Port

4x 1985 Fonseca VP

2x Dow's 2004 VP on half-bottle
2x Dow's 10 YO Tawny

There was a discount over the week end at SAQ, bought a Taylor Single Harvest 1966. A rare occasion that we see the monopoly selling it on market average.

Had this not long ago. A darn good Port.

1 x 2011 Andresen vintage
3 x 2011 Ferreira vintage

My 10 bottles of the Duque arrived on Friday. It turns out these were bottled in 1996—not ideal, but a 20 year old, bottled 20 years ago, for $20 each still seems like a good deal to me. The back label shows Broadbent imported them.

1967 Hooper VP. An odd one that I've never seen a note on so how could I pass it up for only $60 :)

Good price for a daily drinker, even if they are older bottlings.

You didn't want a '67 Hooper LBV instead?? (Assuming you were looking at winebid)

Figured I had a better shot of it still being drinkable if it was a VP and not an LBV.

I was mostly teasing, but a '67 LBV would be a heck of an oddball bottle for a tasting. That said, the lasting impression I have of Hoopers is the one from the '85 tasting and the very VA affected one I opened a couple months later.

A 2011 Quevedo LBV.

This is the best LBV I have tasted of the 2011 class.

2x 1996 Sao Pedro Das Aguias Vintage Port, @ $23.40 each.
Bought one a few weeks ago and thought it was worth the price, so I went back for a few more.

2 bottles of 2011 Quevedo vintage.

2 bottles of Quinta do Crasto 2011 LBV

My girlfriend brought home 3 bottles of 2011 Taylor's LBV from a Danish/German border shop. Yey

A few rubies for the rest of May:

1x Warre Warrior
1x Sandeman Founders Reserve
1x Fonseca Bin 27
