6 x Porto Rocha Three Centuries - 500 ml bottles at a VERY good price. Don't hold these for any long period of time. They are still very nice but have been going a bit flat with age in bottle for some time now. And be prepared for the worlds smallest 500ml bottle cork. IIRC, they were bottled about...

6 x Porto Rocha Three Centuries - 500 ml bottles at a VERY good price.

I've just been through the 22 notes on GC77 on the tasting note list, ranging in date from 2004 - 2018. There are 8 positive bottle reports. There are 5 obviously faulty (corked) bottles. The other 9 are somewhat mixed with some thinking they are not right and others thinking they are just having a...

@ Mike J.W. - at a purchase rate of 12 bottles a week, looks like you are building up stocks in advance of retirement... You are very perceptive ws. That is exactly what I'm doing. Retirement is 2 to 3 years off (god willing) and I'm building up my cellar now because after I retire, my purchases wi...

I think I may have come across a few bottles of the 20 yo SW tawnies the other day, but I wasn't really paying attention. I'll have to double back and check.

Great review!

I would recommend you try the 2007 Graham's. It's young, but a powerhouse. 20 years from now it will be incredible.

I guess a combination of a dearth of auctions presently, everybody permanently hunched over their keyboards and the sheer boredom of lockdown is fuelling this bidding behaviour-at least in part. Hopefully, we'll see normailty (and sense) return when people have got other matters to occupy them. Tha...

Recently saw an auction for three bottles: 2005 Fonseca LBV (unfiltered); 1988 Fonseca Guimaraens; and 1985 Churchill’s Vintage Port. “Estimate = £200 - £300.” BP (ca. 30%) would then be added... So the auction house hopes to sell that lot for at least £260 (incl. a bidder's premium of 30%)? Good l...

If that's for a single bottle, that's just ridiculous if not criminal.

I did here it will be a step up in price on previous vintages but let’s see!! I suppose it was always going to happen. The Bioma / Pisca etc. Ports have been fantastic and not really that expensive for what they are. Is there any difference between the Pisca and the Bioma other than the name change...

First time posting to this site. I'm usually on FTLOP, but I've enjoyed lurking on here the past year or so as well. This thread caught my eye because tonight I coincidentally opened a S. Leonardo 20 y.o. white. It's like drinking liquid butterscotch with a twist of citrus. Very nice. I had a Dalva ...
