What is the best closure for Vintage Port?
Oscar Quevedo start some weeks ago a very interesting experiment to answer this question. He bottled his 2014 Vintage Port with 3 different closures: - natrual cork - screwcap - plastic cork + a fourth bottle in "pota" shape (with natural cork) to see in a decade or so with what closre the...

Re: Warre Vintage Port 70s and 80s bottle variation?
thanks for your detailed reply Phil.
there is only one conclusion - we have drink more W83 and W85 to evaluate this bottle variation theory.

Warre Vintage Port 70s and 80s bottle variation?
Last week I opened a bottle of Warre 83. Usually one of the best wines of this Vintage. But the bottle was obviusly not perfect. In the nose a little bit alcoholic and volatile acid. On the palate not really bad, but weaker than in memory. I also remember, that I had a similar problem with Warre 77 ...

Re: Which LBVs are worth cellaring?
For the vast majority of them, about 20-ish years really is the longest they should be kept. Will they drink nicely past that, yes. But what I often find with the older ones (25+ years) is they just don't have the capacity to retain my drinking interest like an older VP does. They tend to become ve...

Re: 1966 Review
my favourite was Dow, Warre and Fonseca, but the Port of the Night was Noval Nacional. Amazingly the regular Noval was just a tiny hint behind this. yes this was a true suprise and an example of the importance of the bottling company, when we speak about old VP. In this case it was a Charles Kinloc...

Re: 2013 Declarations
The main Quinta of the Bulas Cruz family is Quinta da Costa do Baixo, on the north bank in Cima Corgo, close to Crasto. I assume the will call it just "Bulas", that is what they did with their last declarations.

Re: Buy 1997?
Is this the final word? From my point of view - no it isn´t.Time will tell, but I´m sure, that are many very good Ports from 1997. I recently enjoyed Taylor and Smith Woodhouse. E.g. this both have a better acid structure and are more austere than their examples of 1994. Of course they have not the...

Re: 2015 Harvest
Francisco Ferreira have told via facebook, that the harvest at Vallado starts today with the picking of Moscatel Galego grapes.
that the harvest starts with white grapes is not unusual, but a beginning in the Baixo Corgo on 18th of August seems to me as it will be an early harvest in general.
