- OportoRAH - 12-20-1999 I would love to know if any of you Porto lovers out there are going to end your New Years Eve celebrations with a special bottle of Porto. If so, what are you planning to open up? - Kcwhippet - 12-20-1999 Going with the Barros 20 Anos, along with some stilton and walnuts. May not be one of the all time greats, but we like it (and the price). - Thomas - 12-20-1999 For New Year's I will open a 1994 Niepoort LBV after dinner--perhaps with cheese and nuts, but me, I need nothing else to sip that splendid stuff. For Christmas I will open a Blandy's Bual 10 Yr. Am thinking of having it with a chestnut/hazelnut soup. - Thomas - 12-20-1999 And yes, I realize the Bual is a Madeira.... - Bucko - 12-20-1999 Roy, we will be tipping 63 Grahams and 70 Taylor. I know that the Taylor is not ready yet, but it is SO GOOD right now. How about yourself, Mr. Port Guru? Bucko - OportoRAH - 12-21-1999 believe it or not I will NOT be doing a vintage Porto as I am saving a very special one for a few weeks from now. Instead I will have to suffer with a Barbeito Malvasia 1900 which should make for a nice dessert. Roy PS...enjoy the Taylor!!! - MikeE - 12-28-1999 Unfortunately, I don't have access to a fully aged port. I was considering opening a '92 Fonseca, but if that is insanity, please let me know! Bucko, the Taylor sounds great... let us know how it was.. ME - Bucko - 01-02-2000 The 1970 Taylor was stunning as usual. Loaded with rich, lush, complex fruit, a soft mouthfeel, and an aftertaste that goes on forever. Another 10 years should peak this one out. Bucko - n144mann - 01-04-2000 So are you guys buying the 97 vintage Ports and laying them down?? What are your thoughts on the 97 vintages??? Right now they are a good price, and I am thinking I have more time than money....<grin> I realize that I am looking at hanging on to this bottle for many many years...but heck, its not like I am going anywhere. (unlike some of you...I am still young. [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/wink.gif[/img] just kiddin') and just for the record....I also had port and stilton to help me celebrate my New Years. Nancy |
