2003 Rozes Vintage Port
Posted: 10:07 Sun 07 Sep 2008
Yesterday I had this "VP". I took it with me to a friends place, opened the bottle and (we) drank it within 30 minutes after arriving. Haste! Anyway, this is a (light?) LBV in disguise. Soft, sweet and pleasant, as I recall. I liked it, though, but I would not classify this as VP! It was fairly cheap (around $25) and actually the cheapest VP I've ever bought I think, and at the same cost as most filtered LBV's (to give you an idea about the cost of Port in Denmark). I don't know if it will close down in 3-5-7 years time or whether it will stay open as with LBV's but it would be fun to monitor that. Maybe some of you have tried similar VP's and can say something about that?
I actually read a review of this VP in yesterday's news paper where it was rated 4/6 with a comment about this not being a "real" VP. I can agree on that.
Anyway, a nice bottle to serve for people who don't worry too much Port and if you don't want to worry about how long it should be decanted before drinking etc ... and just want to get drunk . I might buy a couple more of those for just that purpose
Disclaimer: Written under influence of being heavily hung over (and possibly still partly drunk) and listening to The Magnetic Fields' "Distortion". I better get some fresh air and start the count down for tonight's NFL game ...
