In 1993 a couple of wine enthusiasts in Malmö, Sweden, with a special devotion for port wine, decided to start a Wine Society with focus on fortified wines, and port wine in particular. They decided to call the society 18%, both as an indication that the wines tasted in the society should hold more ...

Well I guess the Delaforce was delicious. We had no problems with heat-waves in Sweden. This summer was the coldest since 1862 (sic). We should have started drinking vintage port earlier

I think Warre is better than Gould Campbell. I have always loved Warre

We had Gould Campbell 1977 this week and it was great!

It has been a terrible summer in Sweden in the end of July it was cold and terrible weather so we decided that it’s time to drink vintage port. I was down in the cellar to find a vintage that I have not been old enough to remember the summer and I decided to take vintage 1935 to make the summer bett...

Alex, Do you mean that you can find the house in Great Britain? I have a vintage 1917 from Garett Bros. Can you identify the house? I do not know where in Great Britain Garret sold their port! Of course I hope that you can come to Malmö if I managed to have a Semi-Great tasting (i.e. at least 10 bot...

Sten

We have some vintage from 1931. Unfortunately 2 of those are B.O.B. One was bottled in Copenhagen by Oskar Davidsen and the other in Oslo by Kroepeliens Enke. Maybe someone in London or Oporto know which house the port came from because we think it is unnecessary to drink the same house twice the sa...

Hello! I have forgotten to tell you that in March we had a Great Tasting on the vintage 1983 with 31 houses in Malmö, Sweden and in May 16 different vintage of the house Miguels who was unknown to us until now. We just missed two vintages from that house. You can read about it on: www.vintageport.se...

I had hope it was a Graham when I bought it but as my sons-in-law said:
We know also of Gonzales Byass, Hooper, Silca Cosens and possible Real Velha

Thank you for the information you give on Chaplin, a wine merchant in London, some years ago. Excellent!
During Christmas we enjoyed Chaplin’s vintage 1945. (for tasting notes see: http://www.vintageport.se). Very attractive and interesting.

In December last year there was a discussion about a Cockburn 1957 here if it was OK. I bought the bottle and we had enjoyed it now. It was Cockburn on the cork and the Port Wine Institute label confirmed that it was genuine after contact with the Institute, just for your knowledge. We have had a Gr...

Two threads on the same subject have been merged by jdaw1, somewhat interleaving the posts. But the substance of the conversation should be clear enough. D Hello!

Congratulation to the excellent 1945 Vintage Tasting. Sorry to read that some was not good at all. As you can see on my web-site: www.vintageport.se I have enjoyed 11 vintage 1945 but not at all as many as you hade on your 1945 vintage tasting. I have still 6 different houses of the 1945 vintage in ...

Yes it could be a window bottle. I did not think of that. I bought it on internet. I do not know how to send a photo of the seal but just a very little piece remain of it so no use. I will ask my son-in law to send it. The cork just say: Borges Vintage 1980 so no use to send that I suppose. Sten Mal...

Sten

Yes, we discuss this seriously but if so it was very old indeed. Something was wrong but this is maybe one quite possible guess and maybe the best we can do. Unfortunately we could not read the Port Institute identification just the figures.

Sten

I have no other bottles and it was the first time we enjoyed a Borge 1955( see www.vintageport.se). I did not look specially before I opened it so I did not notice any pics. The cork was a genuine Borge cork and nothing specially to see but saying vintage 1980 and I do realized that this cork did no...

Have anyone had a bottle of Borges vintage 1955 and something else in the bottle? When I decanted my bottle during Easter, first it look like a white port and then turbid and muddy like dirty water (see www.vintageport.se and under Borges). The cork was an original cork with Borges in it but saying ...

It was on sale one week ago with photo so it was no misprint, but perhaps you mean misprint on the dinner where it was mentioned. I know that Cockburn had some very unusual vintage such as 1911 (not so unusual perhaps) and 1916 which is or have been in my cellar but for me 1957 was strange and I hav...

On French e-bay there is a Cockburn 1947 for sale. I did not know that this existed. Have anyone seen this before?

My bottles looks like the one already seen here and is identical to the one on: passtheport.dk

Thank you for the answers. I know about the vintage 1900 and the selo (IVP label) and I realize that that bottle is a Colheita. That was why I asked.
Do anyone know which house is behind the label? Sten

Sten

Does anyone know if a bottle in my cellar is a vintage? It is named VYX Vintage 1875?/Sten
