awesome, just picked up a few at what i considered to be a decent price($64.99) and was feeling guilty about killing one soon.

looking at my notes, should i change the title of this to a general feist tasting, or add seperate notes for the final bottles? consumed that evening was: 2000 Feist Porto Vintage N.V. Feist Porto 10 Year Old N.V. Feist Porto 20 years Old 1965 Feist Porto Colheita 1975 Feist Porto Colheita 1979 Feis...

1 hour later shows a nice mellowing and melding of fruit into a smokey tea profile. i should have had more when first opened, as i am really into fruit driven wines, but the hour change shows it still has that raspberry plus the smokiness. at this point, i think i like it better than you did, but ma...

very sweet, ripe & juicy with licorice & dark chocolate. excellent qpr in the $30-35 range. 88 pointer for me.

i like the way you think.

i'll work on it, but if someone steps in to fill my shoes, please allow them to do so without checking on me first.

While I wish I could attend my employer has other plans for me that weekend. Sorry guys and I am so jealous ...

1984 Kopke Porto Colheita raisins and honey, a bit thin (it followed the 77 fonseca), and alot of heat. about a 91 pointer for me. it was last of the evening of about 15 wines so my palate may have been a bit fatigued! 88) :| wine-searcher shows no availability in the USA (had this in montreal), i'...

so far, dec looks good short of the 12-13th weekend.

had this on saturday night in montreal, wheh baby!

very sweet & lush with raspberry milk chocolate & dark cherries. very refined and smooth with a finish that could go on forever. my favorite port to date.

either brooklyn or nick & stef's works for me. brooklyn is closer tho....

3:15pm, removed capsule to find crusty/moldy growth. extracted mushy cork in two whole parts. poured thru unbleached paper coffee filter into a riedel funnel into a reidel decanter. noticed a slight brown coloring but still retaining a firm brick red at it's core. immediately poured about 1 ounce in...

i'm officially confused.

when is this? i couldn't do 10/17, but other dates are always cool and i'm ready to adopt!

twice this year, i've been fortunate enough to have mr roy hersh provide a 77 warre that grabbed my attention. between him and gman, who brought the 77 taylor fladgate to dinner, those two started to awaken the inner port lover that was trapped in me. i'd call them my "wow!" ports. thanks ...

add 2 1985 croft's. can't find any tn's on it tho...

understanding those things i bought from australia aren't permissable :oops: , i think i've quickly upped a few purchases and these are now resting comfortably in my vinotemp: 2003 Churchill Porto Vintage(5) 1997 Churchill Porto Vintage(1) 1994 Dow Porto Vintage(1) 2003 Quinta do Noval Porto Vintage...

these are $7.99 at wine library http://winelibrary.com/reviewwine.asp?item=24574, just an fyi.

$7.99, pours a dark brown/slightly oily black. no detectable nose. 18% but no heat. nutty butterscotch molasses and brown suger coated dates. both oily and unctuous, i find none of the raisin/prune aspects that i read about on cellar tracker.

you guys will hate it.

i am prepared for the flaming :| , but i finally had a bottle of this and found it far from awful. it shouldn't be labeled "port", perhaps simply "dessert wine" would apply, but i noticed absolutely no heat on it's 18%, and found alot of fruit in there. from carmely dates/figs to...

thanks. i bought 6, but just traded one to a friend for a 97. even steven.

that shoot was at 6am and i had not slept yet . the glasses were a necessity, not a fashion statement...

i finally found my notes/impressions. :oops: my favorite two were: 1) taylor 85 - complex and young, milk chocolate cherries with cinnamon and dark berries. 2) gould campbell 83 - raspberry kirsch & dark chocolate cherries, just gorgeous. i guess in a way they now look vaguely similar but i don'...
