thanks for this information Adrian.
I was hoping for at least a 20yr old tawny.

I'm glad to know that at least one bottle will survive

Rolling Stones - 30 years ago.

The pretentious presentation, the lack of detail as to its actual age and origin.. :roll: Still, there is only one way to find out if it's any good :990066: Sup it and see! Tom It is indeed suspicious. Yet why would they spend that much money on the presentation (leather box with key) and then save...

Gentlemen, I just obtained a bottle of port which seems in first instance a well dressed tawny. Yet, I am wondering if any of you know how old the port used for this "special edition" was and/or tried it. Surely "An exceptional port of Great Age" made "for the benefit of gen...

Are you being ironic?

The french have a nice saying about irony. They call it "l'arme du faible".

For the dutch: Makro is selling a Don Pablo 2003 vintage as "winstpakker" for 14,88EUR.
Does anyone know this brand and tried it?

Is that the one from Brentwood?
I did came across Noval '63 for 85EUR on a UK webshop.

A sort of last minute thing. I just booked tickets for a flight to the Netherlands, because I have to arrange some stuff there. As it looks now, I have time to spare from the 20th to the 25th of August. It would be great to meet some of the new Dutch posters for the first time, so, anyone up for an...

Bearing in mind that you can find Dow 85 for the same price and ready to drink, I do not believe that these are really fair prices...
Yet, I might be mistaking.

here's another clue.

I would assume that the eventual price will also depend on the availability of a particular vintage in the years to come. Are there actual numbers available per vintage of the total "vintage" production per year? Or assumptions on the remaining stock of certain vintages?

Glenn's up

That's a lot of half bottles of something!

I have decanted a recently purchased Vintage Port to celebrate Labor Day today. Which one?

I thought this was finally one I could win! ... Until I read the "latest buy" section

1997 Noval

Thanks for the feedback all.
I'll leave these then since they are not cheap enough to take the risk (8EUR/bottle- min 10 bottles).
I have still a 10yr old 10yr old which I will try soon and compare with a new one

Hi All, I came accross an interesting sale of 25 yr old ruby and tawny ports. These are the standard ports which you can find in all supermarkets but have been untouched for at least 25 years. Ports included are: Van Zellers - Tawny Van Zellers - Ruby Croft - Fine Tawny Kopke - Reserve Tawny Smith W...

Lambiek is regulated and protected by the EU. The uniqueness is that it can only be made by spontanieus fermentation and only in the area of Brussels... so that story seems a bit strange. No doubt that the smaller breweries can make better beer but this is not always the case. The big difference is ...

Geuze is one of my favourite beers for hot summerdays. If you ever have the chance, try a Lindemans or Boon geuze. As an alternative and probably easier to find outside Belgium: Mort Subite (owned by Heineken) Belle Vue (owned by AB Inbev) owww. And do not forget to buy a "Kriek" for your ...

Just back from my summerholiday to lovely Italy and made some nice purchases in Tuscany. I can certainly recommend both Tuscany and Umbria as regions to visit. Good food, Great wines and Superb Cities & Nature. This should help me through wintertime together with my Ports of course ;) Montalcino...

I can also recommend the Reypenaer XO. Only downside is that these cheeses are almost as expensive as the port...

The shop in Den Bosch informed me that their next newsletter will contain a port special.
They could not give yet any information on the 07 VP's.

All available bottles are gone.
