The Croft is back on offer at Tesco’s through their Wines by the Case website, which means ordering in quantities slightly higher than that stocked by the average branch website is a bit easier

It seems that you get free P&P if you spend over £100.

Just popped to Asda for a bottle of Speyside whisky for Father's birthday next week and found they are doing Dow's Midnight Port in 50cl bottles at £4.86.

Now since I am not averse to a tipple of port and opening bottles of vintage every day is beyond my ability, this looks like a good plan. FYI, full bottles were £10 meaning that the half litre was 25% cheaper by volume which seemed daft.

Since I'm currently miffed at finding that Sunday night's decanting of the Delaforce 85 resulted in a diabolical, flat, bland and very cordial-like (no spirit, no sense of alcohol) drink and I've got another half dozen left from a case I bought, I'm hoping that the inexpensive will put a smile back on my face.

If the quality of my posts deteriorates alarmingly, it is drinkable

Posted: **22:33 Wed 16 Feb 2011**

Nick,

Don't give up on the Delaforce '85 just yet, I've had some very pleasant ones. From what you describe, the one you opened at the weekend might have been very mildly corked - at least enough to flatten out the flavours you would otherwise expect to experience in the port.

I bought 9 bottles of Real CocaCola 1983 from Seckfords today at £13 per bottle.

Real CocaCola (pronounced Real Vinicola) is an alternative name for Real Campanhia Velha, the company who produce Royal Oporto.

Does anyone know for sure if Real CocaCola VPs are the same wine as Royal Oporto, just with a different name on the bottle?

DRT wrote:Cheap daily drinkers. How bad can they be?

Didn't you once say that you have never had a "bad" bottle of port? (Exlcuding spoiled bottles.) It is very noble of you to put this experience to the test. Do I take it that after you've drunk these you will be looking for a cheap source of Hutcheson 1987 as the next test?

Actually, I shouldn't be such a snob. I've had the Royal Oporto 1983 and it is a perfectly decent daily drinker. In quality terms, I would put it on a par with a well made traditional LBV. At £13 a bottle for a mature port, that's fair value.

I just pray that DRT doesn't get his hands on the bottles before Tuesday...

Posted: **18:46 Sat 19 Feb 2011**

You joke...but the only halves in my collection are a couple of Rebello Valente 1983s that were picked up at a similar price for a similar purpose...I had been proposing to grant myself dispensation from Tuesday's theme on the basis of my experience with the first of these bottles but maybe I'll add one back in so Derek can see just how bad it can get!

Posted: **06:52 Sun 20 Feb 2011**

I've had some Royal Oporto '83 in my cellar for over five years now, but have never opened a bottle, so I don't know what that vintage is like. That said, I have generally found RO to be good value, the '70 in particular.

I've had somewhat better results with Royal Oporto than with Rebello Valente..

So perhaps a different tasting could be on the basis of "must be vintage, who's got the least good bottle"? Excluding spoils obviously.

There have been many verticals and horizontals I've watched build up that include some marvellous bottles but never yet have I seen one about those embarrassing bottles that fester at the back of the cellar and you don't even bring them out on a Tuesday night when you are feeling particularly tight fisted.

I did try this myself recently going the whole hog into non vintage and picked up a tawny as a joke from Lidl. A full bottle with change from a fiver...sometimes you can go *too* cheap! I was fortunate that I didn't offer this to guests and just sampled it myself. It wasn't good...though I confess to not throwing it away!!

jjbuckley is having a sale on wines today and 7 ports are included, the one htat caught my eye was a 1963 Quinta do Noval Vintage port (NOT NACIONAL) on sale for $112 USD. THis is about $20 usd below auction average. They had 10 but now there are 5.

Hope this helps someone out there.

Posted: **17:36 Fri 25 Feb 2011**

Well I like the idea...as someone said - how bad can they be? The duty of port is to be red or drunk or something...

Posted: **14:51 Wed 02 Mar 2011**

There are some bad ports out there, but I think most are ports that we just choose to be snobby about. I served Cruz 1989 blind a while back, and it didn;t revolt anyone - some were modestly complimentary about it. I've had Royal Oporto 1983 and it was OK. With a couple of notable exceptions (Hutcheson 1970, Sibio 1970), the only time I have had an undrinkable port was when the bottle was a bad bottle.

And then consider that I am trying to decide which bottle is the worst in my cellar for such a tasting. I am trying to choose between:
- Bomfim 1978
- Churchill 1982
- Corte 1984
- Ferreira 1960
- Gonzales Byass 1967
- Martinez 1975
- Noval 1978

All of these are bottles which I would happily open at home and would expect to enjoy - even if not as much as if it was a bottle of Fonseca 1977.

I think part of this is that you tend to drink VP and LBV which should be of a reasonable quality (particularly VP). I’ve had a few bad experiences with Port but this has mostly been in the lower categories. For example, I think I would decline another opportunity to taste the Quinta da Casa Amarela’s White; an own-brand Ruby by Quinta do Noval for Robinson College Cambridge; and C. Da Silva Amilar Ruby. Real Companhia Velha and Quinta de la Rosa’s White both might be in that category, too. Amongst better Ports, the only ones which I have tried which I think were badly made were the Royal Oporto 1982 and the Dow Crusted from 2000 and 2003.

A decent bottle of this is rather nice, certainly one of the best ‟first release” Ports I’ve tried (compare with, e.g. the Vesuvio ’89). If you feel like offloading some at some point...

Quinta Do Crasto Superior 2009
Douro, Portugal

It's a wine merchants lot to taste many wines, and whilst many will think this a dream job to do it's still depressing to experience a great many wines which are dull, boring, overpriced or badly made (think of the Princess who had to kiss a lot of frogs before she found her Prince, and you'll get my general drift!). But every now and then a star shines out from the mist and reinforces why you fell in love with wine in the first place (not forgetting that 'love' doesn't pay the mortgage!).

This superb Douro red from highly renowned producer Quinta do Crasto really made me sit up with its super concentration, quality, class, freshness and perfect balance.

Dark red and black fruits with a velvety texture, yet with structure and seamlessly integrated tannins. A selection of old vine Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz and SousÃ£o grapes sourced from the best vineyards in the 'Douro Superior'.

After tasting some stunning 2009 Rhone reds at a recent tasting what hit me about this wine was that it was equally as good, but a lot less in price.

Gorgeous now, will age gracefully for at least another five years.

Don't miss out on this one, it's great.

A wonderful accompaniment to roast or braised meat dishes.

I've had a few offers for the 2009 ports now.

Seckfords wrote:2009 Vintage Port Release

The Fladgate Partnership (Taylor, Fonseca et al) has announced the declaration of its 2009 vintage ports; this is its 4th vintage of the decade (following 2007, 2003 and 2000). The 2009s are structured for long-term ageing ”“ perfect for those with time in hand.

‟We have not seen colour intensity and tannic grip like this in over twenty years. In addition the quality of the fruit is impressive and the wines are supported by excellent acidity.” David Guimaraens, Head Winemaker.

Due to limited availability, stock is offered in 6-bottle cases (maximum one of each per order; please advise additional requirements) ”“ thank you

2009 Taylor’s ~ £200 in bond per 6 bottle case
The Taylor 2009 blend is based on the wines of Quinta de Vargellas and Quinta de Terra Feita. Located in the remote eastern reaches of the Douro Valley, Vargellas is known for its elegant, scented wines, with their fine focused fruit and well integrated sinewy tannins. The wines of Quinta de Terra Feita are full bodied, powerful and full of rich berry fruit flavour. They provide depth and volume to the blend. Since 2000, the firm’s third property, Quinta do Junco, has also made a small contribution to the blend and has done so again in 2009. Junco’s contribution to the Taylor vintage port blend is small but increasingly important. Its wines are massive in scale, lending an additional layer of density and structure to the blend.

Magenta coloured. An amazing nose, full of blueberries and lavender. Very smooth in texture, medium bodied even at this stage of life. Surprisingly refined for Taylor - less power and more finesse than I would have expected. Beautiful floral tones, a fantastic balance, intense levels of perfect fruit and tannins which are ripe and rounded make this an amazing port on the palate. The aftertaste is restrained and the finish slow to develop but eventually delivers a modest 50% cocoa chocolate and sour cherry combination that is extremely enjoyable. This is a beautiful and extremely impressive port and will certainly be one of the shippers I buy from this vintage.
93-95 points ”“ ThePortForum.com

Blackish purple. This, unusually, had the headiness of Fonseca 2009 on the nose and seemed more luscious and velvety than the Quinta da Vargellas Vinha Velha on the palate. Very rich, round and thrilling. Dense and pure. A bit of a schoolmaster in terms of straight back and firm structure. Very long, firm and thrilling - surely a long term bet with additional early charm, presumably from the exceptionally hot, dry vintage.
18 points ”“ JancisRobinson.com (drink 2035-2070)

2009 Fonseca ~ £195 in bond per 6 bottle case
The Fonseca 2009 blend is based on wines from Quinta do Panascal and Quinta do Cruzeiro. There is also a small amount of wine from Quinta de Santo AntÃ³nio, the first time that the estate has contributed to a classic vintage port blend since it was converted to organic viticulture. Blender Mario AraÃºjo, who celebrates his 50th year working in the Fonseca tasting room, noted: ‘This is one of the most impressive young vintage ports that I can remember. In many ways it reminds me of the 1970 with its firm tannins and powerful fruit.’

More intense in colour than the Taylor 2009 shown alongside this wine. More restrained on the nose, none of the exuberance of the Taylor, but with a pleasing menthol freshness. Restrained and modest entry, lighter bodied than Taylor, but with a much more intense concentration of mid-palate fruit and more forward tannins. A little hollowness on the entry, but certainly not on the mid-palate which is fruit dominated and very impressive with big tannins. Spicy, cheek tingling aftertaste which is balanced, dry and of good length.
90-92 points ”“ ThePortForum.com

Blackish purple. Heady, opulent nose - really very winning indeed already! But on the palate there seems to be just a slight hole in the middle, a lack of sheer fruit weight. Long and vibrato on the finish though until an extremely dry note on the very end. This reminds me of a fortified version of a 2003 right bank bordeaux.
17.5+ points ”“ JancisRobinson.com (drink 2030-2050)

2009 Croft ~ £165 in bond per 6 bottle case
The Croft 2009 vintage blend is made up entirely of wines from Quinta da RoÃªda and displays the distinctive scented quality and rich round fruitiness which are the hallmarks of the estate’s wines. All the wine was made in traditional lagares. Head viticulturist AntÃ³nio MagalhÃ£es remarked: ‘RoÃªda is a very large property. Although we have replanted extensively we can continue to draw from the historic parts of the vineyard, which are the essence of this unique terroir, for our vintage ports.’

Blueberries and pink grapefruit on the fruit lifted nose. Silky entry, light bodied with restrained ripe fruit and large tannins. The balance of the wine on the palate is extremely good and the acidity levels seem to be slightly below those in the Taylor and Fonseca wines. Liquorice dominates the aftertaste, which is the biggest aftertaste of the three ports, and is full of espresso, dark chocolate and concentrated sharp blackcurrant. Very different in style from Taylor or Fonseca and very tasty. Personally, I prefer this to the Fonseca.
91-93 points ”“ ThePortForum.com

Blackish crimson. Mellow, well-behaved nose. Very soft, ripe and sweet. Quite different from the Fonseca and Taylor in terms of build - less concentrated. Then the tannin and, especially, acidity rise up and take you unawares at the end of the palate. Just very slightly scrawny on the finish with a tiny hint of greenness. I'd lash out on one of the more serious ports from this stable.
17 points ”“ JancisRobinson.com (drink 2020-2040)

2009 Skeffington ~ £120 in bond per 6 bottle case
Restrained on the nose, intensely perfumed and dominated by Gala melons. Smooth, medium-bodied entry initially with modest levels of fruit. Patience and air allows the fruit to blossom and the tannins to show. The fruit grows to surprising levels - an intriguing and intense mix of raspberries and blackcurrants. Curry powder tingles on the aftertaste before giving way to a long and powerful finish of blackberries. Could this be the bargain of the vintage?
89-91 points ”“ ThePortForum.com

Very deep purple with a notably 'warm' nose reminiscent of raisins. Notably high volatile acidity and masses of smudgy, pruney, sweet fruit. Much more evolved than the other 2009 vintage ports in the Fladgate stable. Relatively light on the finish with a peppery note. Not that persistent.

If anyone is looking for Dow 2007, Berry's have a half case on offer for £360, in bond

Wild Wine Days at Gall & Gall (in the Netherlands), with every second bottle at 50%. Most interesting buy is definitely Dow 2007. Normally 60 euro a bottle, now 45 if you buy two.

Sounds like the Dow 2007 prices are returning somewhat to normal after their huge spike on release...
