Re: Bottle Shock
For wines just shipped via boat, then trucked to my house or local wines store, I prefer at least six months. I've found the extended time on a boat really seems to hammer the wine and it takes some time to recover. The same goes for wines that are just bottled and suffer from Bottling Shock. As th...

Although I have not had this port yet I would venture to say 20 year minimum; 50-100 probably more like it. Taylor's age well. You got one heck of a deal at that price! I don't think it is going to make even 50 years - certainly not from now and very unlikely even 2045! I want to be in a fit state ...

I think it's about time we had a new book based on some investigative journalism. A good throaty tale of what the bloody hell goes on in the IVDP. Insights into how the big companies are buying up all the independents. The tale of the underpaid worker. A few examples of dodgy dealing and Cartels. I'...

Do you think we should have a system where we 'flag' when someone here is bidding. I dont mind backing off if someone says they are after it. We'd be a Cartel, that from would stop a few unnecessary price hikes. It would all be on trust, and un-policable, but I'd honour it, and hopefully benefit fro...

The Fun of E-Bay
As this is not an usual experience, and apologies if you all know about this, but I like occasionally bidding on Ebay, and I thought I may share my failures. A few days ago there was a Grahams 55 hovering around £50 with 5 minutes to go. I find I never win such items, as I'm only interested in barga...

Correct Decanting Time v A Few Days Later?
Just a thought. If you have a great and special old Port, you presumably hope to drink most of it at its prime. There is definitely a window, some hours after its open, when the complicated structure, and full sensual taste is at its height. However, and its just a personal opinion, I dont think the...

Re: 1980 horizontal: review
Don't you feel that's the general rule of most years. Very inconsistent. Often confusing, but great fun.jdaw1 wrote:1980 is a most muddled vintage. Great names like Nacional and Fonseca made middling port, whilst Ferreira and Offley made stonking good drinks. Very educational.
