Vintage Porto 1983

[8 hour decant] Impenetrable, super opaque dark purple color, seriously, color is SO DARK it looks like 5W-30 motor oil after 10-15 thousand miles, lovely raisin aromas and flavors, tending a little dry as Dow’s VP does, super long, lingering finish, if any Vintage Porto could easily go 100+ years, this might be it!! Seriously, the color alone suggests a VERY YOUNG barrel sample, AMAZING!! — 22 days ago

@Doug Powers It was not an outlier. The 1983, surprisingly, is likely the best vintage porto ever from this house. Straight up now.

Vale do Bomfim Douro Red Blend 2020

Really tasty wine, had with Spanish tapas. Smell is cherry and a weird bread/biscuit note that smells like a bakery. Full bodied, very fruity. Went well with all the assorted foods. Would love to have again. — 9 months ago

20 Aged in Oak Tawny Porto Port Blend

Almost brown with a little red colour in the center, typical tawny nose with alcohol, nuts and earth. On the palate first red fruits followed by strong walnut taste. Extremely long finish , at least 30 sec , brilliant — 3 years ago

Quinta Do Bomfim Vintage Porto 1992

This was a ½ bottle that I paid $12.95 back in the day. This had some jammy sweet caramel notes. It was pleasant to drink with dessert but it was its time.

The cork came out with some cracks but whole. Decanted at around 6 PM in a to-go bottle and happy I did, there was a ton of sediment. Drank at about 11 PM with NYE Dinner at Anthony’s in HH.

Porto 1985

Pulled this out of my special collection. The cork fell apart, but I managed to get most of it out. I’ve never had a port as smooth. Smells and tastes of a really good British Christmas pudding. Shared with my lovely family and in-laws on one of our last nights in the States before heading back to Catalunya. Seems like it still has most of its character, so I would open 1985 now and not wait any longer. — 5 months ago
