I opened a 1937 Kopke Colheita for the Port Club's holiday party, and then last night I opened a 1985 Vista Alegre Colheita for a (late) New Year's party with my wife's boss.

Light evening tonight to mark the end of festivities.
Vértice Pinot Noir 2012 Douro sparkling, 1994 Burmester and a half bottle of 20yo Kopke (two people). All showing quite well.

A truly lovely bottle of Bel Air Marquis d’Aligre 2010 this evening. Claret as she was made 75 years ago. No oak, 5 years in vat, about 30% petit Verdot. An exercise in restraint and balance. Joyous with leftover cassoulet.
Work tomorrow. Alas.
