Re: 2004 Dow Bomfim

Still a bit closed on the nose. But the palate is fresh and vibrant. Some tannins left. Good, tasty fruit. Smooth finish. Dries the back of my mouth slightly.

Re: 2016 Vintages - what to buy and store

It's more than a bit confusing when different people give quite different scores. Those who score are no more than people, too. Educated and experienced people, but still just people like everyone else. We all have different tastes, which results in different scores. For any wine critic's scores to...

Though I think I have understood the concept of bottle ageeing, Im u...

Re: 2016 Vintages - what to buy and store

I ended up buying a bottle of Niepoort Bioma 2016 Vintage, that just arrived where I live (Norway). So did Churchills 2016 Vintage, but I choose the Niepoort. Now my son can tell me in 2046 if that was a good choice :)

Re: 2016 Vintages - what to buy and store

I don't have that much storage space, so Im opting for one bottle.

The internett says the Croft is slightly better than the two others, but Im hoping for some advice from you folks (since your proper port lovers).

Re: 2016 VP's - Wed 12 September

Hi! (my first post, I have been reading here for a year or two, but only just started an account). I wish I was living in London and could participate in this event. But I do hope to enjoy reading your opinions on the 2016 vintages, as I plan to buy one or two for my son (who was born that year) so ...
