There is a 1981 Port from Barros. I would assume it's a Colheita. Maybe you are interested in that offer and you would like to check it out. I do not have any experience with that shop.

Re: No passionate Whisky thread here?
All my SM had been gone so I had to order fresh supply. Two bottles to start. It is Ardbeg TEN (1l) and Ardbeg Uigeadail. Although there is not little hype about Ardbeg I am looking very foward to these bottles. Another one in focus is Highland Park 18 years I could purchase at reasonable 48 EUR. I ...

Re: Dow's 2007 Vintage - 100 PTS Wine Spectator
Tom, although I disagree with most of your point of view in this case your post is very interesting as it catches some of the leading points in that matter. Thanks for that. For those using the 100 point system there has been a gradual grade creep in scores over the years, to the extent that any win...

Re: 2007 Niepoort Pisca vintage port
I had a bottle (barrel sample) of 2007 Niepoort Pisca VP in early March over a period of 4 days. To my taste it was amongst the best VPs from 2007. In a long term perspective I would not be surprised if it will even surpass 2007 Niepoort Vintage Port. I found it to be very closed. Aromatically more ...

1997 Calem Vintage Port
No formal notes were taken. I remember 1997 Cálem VP as deeply dark in colour, bulky ripe nose, full-bodied, ripe dark fruits as dried damson, very spicy, cigar box. It was a pop & pour situation. It began beautifully to open after 2 hours and was drinking well after 24 hours. It was put on my b...

Re: Dow's 2007 Vintage - 100 PTS Wine Spectator
I don't buy these negative theories of the both of you. I've been following Suckling's tasting notes for some 10 years now and find them thoroughly reliable. According to the WS website their tastings are blind, and I have no reason to doubt that. These scores are, therefore, the result of Suckling...

Re: Croft 10 Year Old Tawny Port
Axel was so kind to offer me some of this Port when I visited him in March 2009 at his home. I found this 10 year old Tawny to be in a more burly and rustic style. Nevertheless I really liked it.

You (and Derek in another, previous thread) are absolutely right. Undrinkable within the first 2 days because of the striking alcohol. On day three a nice VP.jdaw1 wrote:Decanted four days previously. Medium-light, lots of fruit. OK, with food better than that.

Re: Latest buy
Glen, you simply have to come across that little water, visit Germany, have some Port with me and take an owc/6 from my cellar at the price I paid- very nice wooden cases though.
I agree on your estimation. One of the best VP from 2007 I tasted so far. For nearly a song. One to stock up.

Dries, just a question of time I would suppose.
Now the second important German dealer increased from 65 EUR to 90 EUR.

It's the only match you receive for Germany via winesearcher. Just the rules of market I'd say. What me made angry was a call from a austrian shop I received today.

Re: 2007 Morgada da Calcada vintage port
What was the decanting time for the Morgadio? To my taste it blossomed out only after 48 hours. I agree lusty acidity. Tannins more rustic than those of Niepoort VP and Niepoort Pisca VP but nevertheless quite impressive on day 3. I found the scoring of 90 from Miller to be too defensive.
