Anything but Port, this includes all wines other than fortified wines (which have their own section) even if they call themselves Port. There is a search facility for this part of the forum.

1988 Chateau Gloria

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Absolutely delicious, mature and ready for drinking. Wonderful mature fruit balanced by nearly integrated tannins. Fresh, refined and delicious. A very enjoyable bottle. The extra 4 years from when the last bottle was opened has allowed this wine to really blossom. 88/100. Drunk 01-Jun-2022. Decanted for 3 hours.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
