Ronnie,

I had the Passadouro from a magnum about a year ago and I thought it was showing at its peak. I'm sure a regular 750 bottle would show a touch more age on it. I think this is one to start drinking if you've got 'em.

Bottled 2007 This was consumed over about a week. Day 1: A new more traditional bottle shape is now used for this one, in place of the old short fat bottle. No real TN as I just opened this but a lighter color than most 20 yrs. hazlenut, vanilla, and carmel nose. A bit thin and simple on the palate ...

Ok, finally got some time to catch up on writing some TN's. This is from a few weeks ago. The color is a golden orange with a redish tint and looks more like it is on the older side of a 20 year blend.

Prefer PB and honey on wheat bread...yummy

Ahh, I do feel better now...thanks Alan

WOW, looks like all had a great time...and where is the link to all the rest of the pics

And I can't believe Derek is actually sleeping...I hope someone woke him up and gave him a little more to drink

I dont think the choices are any worst than in the old days, its just we know more about them now thanks to the internet

You've also had a 1935 Barros White Colheita, bottled in 2007

I've had numerous bottles of this and I think I got one left. They are very raisiny and thick, and I do enjoy them, but very sweet like a PX and I can only drink a glass or so at a time.

I recently had a Croft 1983 Filtered LBV that was a touch over the hill, but still quite tasty and I really enjoyed it.

A very solid LBV that I've always enjoyed.

Bummer...but good thing that isn't stoping you from drinking it.

Unlike her husband, she's actually got some balls and probably would do a better job than GWB or her ex-president of a husband. Ohh and she doesn't smoke cigars

Sean,

Good to see ya hear to. This is a great lot of people, just watch out for cats, peanut butter, a guy with a bottle of glue in his hands, and the one who plays with explosives All kidding aside, its great to have you here.

Tom, I've tried it and its very good..but that is too much money IMHO.

Derek, you obviously arn't drinking enough tonight but good answer and correct....now open another bottle and start drinking

Uh oh, I think the department psychologist just left a message on the answering machine

Everyone is guilty of something...I say shoot them all and let god sort them out

My edumication and grummer r note so gode ether :lol: AS for Parker, I think he is the last person I look to when searching for wine reviews on Port. Others wines yes, but he is not good at Port. Although Mark Squires did a great job reviewing dry wines from Portugal in the last ediition of The Wine...
