1977 Dow's VP
1983 Croft Q da Roeda
Oh right, I also received my 2011 VP's from the UK about 10 days ago
6x Warre 2011
6x Cockburn's 2011
my 6x Fonseca 2011
Now all I have to do is to pick up my order of Quevedo 2011 when visiting Oscar this summer.

Sounds like a plan!g-man wrote:friends coming into town now
so the port got upgraded to a 45' Sandeman
and my generous friends are bringing a 86' Cheval Blanc, Latour and a Margaux ;-)
Please let us know how the Sandeman '45 is holding up. I have a couple, and am planning on opening the first in 2015.

Re: 1987 Cálem Quinta da Foz VP
Thanks! That was of course what I was going for . Maybe I should have, in all fairness, added the number of bottles from other producers / vintages that are comsumed annuallydjewesbury wrote:Your self-restraint is quite amazing.gerwin.degraaf wrote:happily consuming one bottle of this every year until they're all gone.

1987 Calem Foz
1987 Cálem Quinta da Foz VP Probably not the best known house and or Quinta. Nevertheless (in my opinion) an utterly enjoyable VP. Nice and mature at this point. Lovely fruit (a bit jammy), good balance in terms of acidity and sweetness. Tannins and alcohol nicely integrated. I have some bottles le...

Gerwin, did you see an offer from Henri Bloem yet? Their prices are often very good. Not that I want to rob you of a trip to the UK... :wink: No, nothing seen from Henri Bloem yet.

Re: Temperature of serving
That's close to what I've always believed, though their recommendation is a little cooler than my preference. I've said for some time that VP is best served just under room temperature - right about 65 degrees Fahrenheit. It should be slightly cool, but not cold. They say 16-18 degrees C. I'd say 1...

Advice on where to order 2011 VP in the UK
As VP is on the expensive side (in absolute terms, not in comparison to the dry reds of this world of course), I would like some insider advice from the UK-based members. What is, on average, the best place to order 2011 VP (en primeur) in the UK? I'm based in The Netherlands, and if I know one thin...
