Some of those around here have been working hard at reducing global Port inventories, so this might not be true.DRT wrote:even more to drink

Taylor 2003 eh? I am in my late thirties, and own none of this, partly because it is even money whether I will live long enough to taste it at its best. Maybe it will surprise and be mature in 2033, twenty-five years from now. But it’s as likely that it will want a decade more than that. As a comparison, Fonseca 1966 is delicious now, but I have heard some from round here say that it is still improving. Certainly quaffing F66 now is far from infanticide. The 2003s may well do likewise. Keep it in a cool still cellar; don’t touch it; don’t even look at it; and try to stay healthy enough to enjoy it a long time from now.

However, it also has some over-priced oddities. Don’t just buy everything blindly — unless you’re going to ask me to help you drink it.DRT wrote:Check out this thread which is updated regularly and often reveals some gems.

I concur with the sentiment over the Smiff-Woody, an excellent Port, even though my TNs are still at Joost's house or more likely a Dutch landfill site. It was a very healthy looking Port and I remember it being sumptuous. Then the haze descended.AHB wrote:Great start to filling the vinotec with port. The Dow '94 is drinkable now but will be better in years to come.
The Smith Woodhouse '77 is a fabulous port. Enjoy.
