Re: What have you opened this week?
A Brunheda 20-yr Old Tawny Port that I received from Stewart. I'm going to give it a couple of days to mellow before I do a TN, as right now it's very bright and tart.

Vista Alegre 30 year old Tawny Port
Tonight will be another wood-aged Port.
I am saving a bodacious older VP for later in the week.

A bottle of almost 10 year old Warre's "Fine Selected" Port (a Ruby Port). Not bad, but interesting....

Just finished a Warres Otima 10 which comes in a convenient 500 mL bottle and opened a Fonseca Bin 27 Reserve.

A bottle of Bomfim 1999 - the extra bottle I bought when bargain shopping in the supermarket last night. £20 a bottle - I can't resist a bargain!

Re: What have you opened this week?
1965 Delaforce Colheita and a 1963 Graham's Vintage. Both are unfinished, and now I am off to Hong Kong. I have never let a VP sit around for a week, so it will be interesting to see how it is after 6 days (if my wife doesn't finish it while I am gone). No worries about the Colheita, though. It will be just fine.

Portal 10 Year Tawny. An OKC liquor store had 10-40 Portal, along the 1997 and 2003 Vintages! Figured what the heck and got the 10 year for the hotel. Quite lovely. Tastes older than 10 years!

Re: What have you opened this week?
2002 Broadbent LBV and Rocha 1976 Colheita, which tastes younger than 30 years (bottled 2006), but still delicious.
