Re: 1994; Where's the value?
Interesting to read the strategy for cellaring Port in this thread. I'm sitting on a case of '85 Graham's VP, a half case of '86 Graham's Malvedos VP, and a half case of 2003 Warre's LBV, while drinking what little '66, and '70 I have left. There's various Tawny and '92 Warre's LBV to fill in the ga...

Re: Volunteers sought..
So if, and that's a BIG "if", TCA breaks down, will the loss of fruit flavor restore itself?
Does TCA have a half life?

Re: What have you got open this weekend?
Now I've got an '88 Graham's Malvedos open. Doesn't play in the same league as the '86, but still enjoyable.

Re: Best fortified wines?
Rivesaltes has some hellaciously tasty wines. Domaine de Besombes Singla's Cuvée Amédée has nutty caramel & butterscotch notes reminiscent of Colheita.

Re: What have you got open this weekend?
A '76 Krohn's Colheita has been opened for a few days, and now an '86 Graham's Malvedos joined it in the fridge.
Suffice it to say it doesn't suck to be drinking Port at my house this week.

Re: What have you got open this weekend?
Finishing up a bottle of 2003 Warre's LBV Port that's been opened for a few days. Damn good stuff, and easily as good as a few of the vintage Ports I've had before.

Re: An afternoon of rummaging
That is kinda fun, isn't it? I liken my rearranging to defragging a computer hard drive, as I slide over and move up or down to fill random open slots to create one continuous row which I can put newer bottles on.

Krohn's LBV Port
Looking for some feedback on Krohn's LBV Port. It seems very inexpensive so I was wondering if it has any characteristics reminiscent of their Vintage Port. Love the caramel / pecan pie hints their older bottles have. Can anyone offer links to tasting notes?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Re: What have you got open this weekend?
I'm being cheap on the Port this weekend with a Penfold's Club Tawny, because the other bottle of sweet wine open is a Sauternes: 2001 Chateau Suduiraut.

Re: Your first vintage port(s)
Being primarily a tawny drinker since my early 20's, I got a late start in Vintage Port only 4 or 5 years ago. Luckily, I have a few friends with nice cellars, and I think I started with a 1977 Grahams. Since I often drink their 10 year Tawny, it seemed like a good place to start when offered a choi...

Hi there!
Dumb luck brought me here. The Google was helping me locate some 1966 Krohn's Colheita as I'm down to my last bottle. A listing to this forum was on the 2nd or 3rd page, so I joined. There's no way anyone would consider me an expert by any stretch of the imagination. I do, however, enjoy a wide vari...
