I would recommend ordering some 2007 VP as well.

The below link shows some info on sensors used in logistics. These are created to record for long sea journeys so 2 of them should be sufficient to make exchanges let's say every 2 months. http://dsi.dhl-innovation.com/en/products/smartsensor/index I can check what they cost if this would be somethi...

First impression is good!

I believe Quinta Da Roeda made a 1973 vintage.

Might be nice to check this with Croft.

Hmmm....very interesting. i think i had a Eufemia white colheita from 1973 at Vinologia last year - can't remember which Eufemia though...and never seen anything else Yes, they can't label it as such, but it's from 1973. A few of us had a conversation with one of the owners about how they could des...

There aren't any other declared vintage ports from 1981.

Hoop doet leven

I still have a couple of boxes left in my cellar.
Will be interesting to see how it will develop over the coming years.

I did not pick it up yet but will send you the 2 pictures from the seller.
Do you expect a fake or did you also not know it's existence?

Pocas Vintage 1990 - 14,99EUR (was marketed on Ebay as a 20y old instead of vintage)

Interestingly no references or tasting notes at all to be found. But if this tastes like their 2000 but with 10 years additional aging, I have a great port for this price

DRT wrote:WOW.

According to a post on these are being offered at 2,500 Euro per bottle. 2,500/14 = 178.57 Euro per glass

Actually I just found one for 1700EUR:

Out of my budget but still reasonably priced. I expected +10000EUR. It is "only" 2500GBP

Some of these comments are getting dangerously close to Thunderbird! our US friends will certainly know what that means! Now I know as well what it means :shock: : http://www.bumwine.com/tbird.html Interesting to read that you are attempting to increase range and complexity of varietals. Do you als...

Thanks for the hint Daniel.
I'll check with a Portuguese friend if he is able to pick it up.

Yesterday on the 26th of September 2010 at 5:15PM CET I became the proud father of Tristan.
Tistan weighs 4,170kgs and measures 52cm!

Mother and son are doing great

That's unfortunate. I assume the shop was: http://www.buywawines.com
If so they still show it on their website...

Thanks for the effort. Let's hope they find it somewhere.

As far as I know Infantado is the only producer who declared a vintage in 81. It is still available, but apparently not very good. This is the only one that I know of as well. Yet I only found it for sale in the US. If anyone ever finds it in Europe, I would greatly appreciate a notification! Shock...

Actually would love to try it but I can guess the outcome...

I found this post from Oscar really interesting: http://quevedoportwine.com/events/two-controversial-points-in-my-speech-at-vindouroapresentacao-na-vindouro-com-dois-pontos-controversos/#comments Now I am wondering if there are any ports known that are not created around the "top - grapes"...

Gents,

Unfortunately I will not be able to join Friday afterall. I'll only be coming home from Hamburg this Friday evening
Apologises for any inconvenience caused. I was actually really looking forward to the tasting.

I sure could use some of that stuff today with temperatures raising to 37 Celcius and the most important football game in the past 4 years to start in 4hrs.
