Thank you both for the clarifications.

Old Bridge

Can you then remove any bottle, or just the top one in each column?

Old Bridge

In a cellar bin 50cm wide and ca. 100cm tall, with no horisontal shelves. How many bottles can be put on top of another? To the top, ie ca 10?

In the alfabetical list of tasting notes: D for Dow is not working.

Is it only on my pc, or a comunity problem?

Ah, but given the clues, you must admit it is guessable.

The correct answer is of course a Lobster Guillotine.

Quinta da Romaneira Vintage Port 2011

I tried it with a rare steak last night, but that went against the grain with me. Generic Côtes du Rhône NV felt much more right.

Smith Woodhouse Late Bottled Vintage Port 2004 The four-year barrel-aged vintage wine is mellow, elegant and sophisticated.

So , can I adjust my Chrome in any way, to see what I'm supposed to see?

Very possible, because in Mozilla firefox I see the same as your screenshot, DRT.

I've written tasting notes on just under 4,600 different bottles of port. In that time I have only given two ports a perfect score, considering the wine I drank to be impossible to be bettered. They were the two tasting notes Old Bridge has identified. Both were just astonishing. The 1963 Nacional ...

Old Bridge

The other could be: 1963 Quinta do Noval Nacional vintage port. Truly a phenomenal port. 100/100. Drunk 29 June 2009.

Old Bridge

One?

It is B&F, and since I have never been there, how was I to know?
Well I have learnt something new today as well.

For me this is not easily understandable, and maybe not even guessable, in fact it seems like meaningless drivel.
I admit defeat.

I am trying to find out how much VP were produced in the years that are now ready to drink, but am stumped. Google seems to offer no help, or maybe I am asking the wrong questions.
Do anyone on the

I think T09 has the potential to be one of those VPs that emerges as a true classic. It is an exceptionally dark and intense wine.

Thank you, uncle tom.

Planning a big party for 2109?

I'm quietly confident that the '09s (and the Taylor in particular) have the depth and integrity to show very well, come their centenary..

A bit OT, but do you think T09 will outlive T11?

ps. Winesearcher seems to think so by a fair bit.

For the grandson, 2013, I bought 6 bottles of Quinta do Vesuvio, but the Norwegian Wine Monopoly (allways capital letters, in reverence) sent me single bottles.

Yesterday I opened a bottle of Cálem Vintage Port 1985, and tonight I am finishing it off.
A very nice port, and that is a pleasant thought when it is the most abundant VP in my cellar.
