Does anyone know what the effect of bottle maturing on a tawny/colheita is? I know that they are supposed to be drunk soon after bottling but if one has, for instance, a 20-year-old bottle of 10-year-old Tawny, how will it compare to a fresh bottle? -Jacob Well, it depends on who you talk to. Some ...

I thought tawny's were aged for 20 years in barrel and then bottled, compared to colheitas which were aged 3-5 years in barrel and then bottled to be aged in bottle for x years. Inexpensive tawny's and Ruby's typically are between 3-5 years of age when bottled. Colheita's require a minimum of 7 yea...

I have delaforce, but all of its young stuff...sourcing should be no problem. I'd be down for a US offline, but it would have to be early 2009. My travel budget to the eastern US or to Europe this year is quickly going to prior commitments. West coast flights are cheap if you all want to come out he...

Like Derek and I have both pointed out, Roy has no problems giving a bad review when warranted. Derek, and many others, have seen it first hand when Roy has done it in front of the producer. So to say Roy is influenced by a producer he knows is total rubbish! When Roy asked me to join the staff at F...

Since Roy is in Portugal for the next week or so, allow me to help clarify some things. Those that know Roy know that his biggest concern is the perception that he is giving better reviews to producers/companies that he knows. That is why FTLOP does not take advertising dollars from any of the produ...
