I had half a bottle of "special 2007 leftover blend" last night. :lol: After the latest flight of cask samples, Roy made a blend of three of them that we both thought was better than any of the samples separately, so he poured the rest of the bottles together and sent it home with me.

It was Vista Alegre (which isn't actually what they call their Port, but I mistakenly forgot to write down the actual name) + Magalhaes + Porto Rocha. The Rocha is very good, btw... too bad it is primarily a US brand.

Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
