Port Christmas Presents
Did you get anything port-related for Christmas? I was delighted with a copy of High Johnson's Pocket Wine Guide, a bottle of Cavadinha 1995 and a bottle of Graham 1983. You can never have too much Graham 1983...
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

I received a new decanter, which I immediately put to use.

Any time not spend drinking port, is a waste of time.

I got Port Wine Quintas of the Douro by Alex Liddell, which appears to be very interesting.

Re: Port Christmas Presents
Not yet. It's been a while since I last had one of these and I seem to remember thinking that it would be better in another 5-10 years. So if I can, I will probably leave the bottle until at least 2010.Michael M. wrote:Alex, you already made a decision on drinking the 1995 Cavadinha VP?
