Can you drop them off in Australia en route? I think I am only half joking

Re: Corked/Spoilt Ports - Name and Shame
2005 Quinta do Noval LBV (unfiltered) - TCA of the worst kind. The just above threshold stuff that has you guessing, wondering, worrying at the absent bouquet and the closed (aka stripped) palate. Leaving it an hour and coming back to it we have proof positive with the musty odour developing. So fru...

Perhaps the other bottle needs to be broached to either confirm or correct this bewildering disparity

This is certainly one of my favourite NV's. Seems to be sadly creeping up in price.

Re: 2006 Potensac
I do recall consuming several pitch perfect halves of 1983 Château Gruaud-Larose in its 30th birthyear. I wondered at the time whether full bottles would be that much less mature.

Re: Mayson's Top 20 Buys
I do not think the quality of the Niepoort in question is in question. In my memory at least. The scarcity may be of some concern however, considering the circulation numbers of Decanter. Shhhhh I say

Re: Seppelt Mount Rufus Vintage Tawny
HI,
This bottle wouldn't be worth much more than a tenner over in Australia. I doubt there is much data in the UK at auction but wouldn't expect much more. Much better to drink this one.
cheers

Re: New port barrel help
Returned and Services League of Australia? There are a lot of Australian references to port barrels. Bingo! AKA "the arey". Haven't heard it called "the rissole" but apparently another moniker. There is usually one in most towns and suburbs. These days many are plastic casinos f...

Re: Your first vintage port(s)
First vintage port style would be a 1982 Seppelt back in 1997 or 1998. This sparked an in interest in the style. The first Portuguese was the current release unfiltered Warre LBV on our first visit to the UK in 2005, closely followed by the 1987 Warre Quinta da Cavadinha 1987. The first true VP was ...
