To decant or not to decant...

...that is my question... Today I stumbled upon an Offley L.B.V. 2000 (bottled 2004), and bought it. The bottle is black (correction: very, very dark green) with a driven cork, and on the bottle it says to store it horizontally. It doesn't say, however, that the L.B.V. is unfiltered or if it should ...

Thanks

Thanks for the warm welcome! Even though I chose a Portuguese username (it simply happened to be the name of my favourite Port so far) I am Dutch. I do have some Portuguese colleagues, though, and they did play a role in my trying Port, or vinho do Porto as they call it. Ten is 'dez' in Portuguese. ...

Hi there

I just joined this forum, so I'd like to say hello to you all... A while ago I tried my first bottle of Port and ever since I've been hooked. Searching on the internet I found loads of information and stumbled upon this forum. I've been trying several (standard) types to find out which Port suits my...
