Bottle Discovered..Help please.
Posted: 13:58 Fri 28 Feb 2020
Hi all, I have joined this forum for some help in identifying a bottle of port I discovered which belonged to my late father.
Each and every Christmas I decant a bottle of vintage port for the family which we all enjoy enormously. This year I had seemingly run out of decent freebies from business gifts and so asked my mother did she have anything that my father had left,as he always loved a drop of good port.Well we found a few bottles to choose from,one of which looked very promising!
After some consideration I thought it might be a little too promising to be quaffed by us unknowledgeable types and so opened another bottle, very nice too I might add.
After doing some research online I decided to email an enquiry with pictures to J W Burmester to ask for there help,they have only just replied with some limited information re the seal on the bottle which is a bit meaningless to me.Next step I thought is to ask you guys on the forum for help , can I drink this bottle at Christmas or not , you decide.
Can try and send pictures and more info,just ask.Cheers.
