D27 Raby for D71 crusted. Fair swap I think.

Re: Latest buy
I bought 6 bottles of a newly released (still unlabelled) 10 year old by a small producer called Mapa (the owner, Pedro Garcias, also writes a weekly article about wine in the Portuguese newspaper Público). Tasted it at lunch on Friday and it's quite good, more on the fruity side than on the caramel side. The wine has an average age of well over 10 years, so it's pretty good value.

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