The Port Wine Thread
What ports have you drank that you have enjoyed and where did you find em.
Just wanting to make a thread to see how many of my fellow BOTL enjoy Port. I just had a bottle of Taylor Fladgate 10 Year and cant wait to try and find another bottle locally, it was extremely good to me. Another recent port i had was the Sandeman's Founders Reserve, was very smooth and i already got another bottle. |

Re: The Port Wine Thread
I occasionally drink port. It's been awhile though since I've gone into the military and been cut off...
But what I can remember drinking before I left were: Six Grapes, Sandeman's Tawny, Fonseca Bin 29...I think I have them arranged in order from worst to best in my opinion too. I'll have to get back into it in a couple months here when I can own my own alcohol again. |

If you like tawny ports, the best easy to find ones are (all 20 year bottles):

Re: The Port Wine Thread
How have I missed this!
I know it's cliche but I really find I like grahams better then most. I've have a bunch of dow's and i've enjoyed most. Taylor's always seem to have a odd after taste to me. Always have some 6 grape around |

Re: The Port Wine Thread
If you are talking Vintage Port, than it's hard to beat Grahams. One of my favorites as well.

Re: The Port Wine Thread
Like the sweetness of Grahams but will take the power of Fonseca every time.

I find Taylor as having more power, more pepper and spice to their profile. Somehow, Fonseca seems soft and wonderful, yet can stay that way for decades upon decades. Fonseca is a wonderful brand, as is Taylor...

Re: The Port Wine Thread
Agreed Fonseca/Taylor being the heavy hitters. Bums me out a bit that they taste so good young in the past few vintage years. Prior to 94' I never would have thought of drinking either of those two young. Harder to keep hands off in recent vintages.

Re: The Port Wine Thread
Had a 1983 and 1985 Dow Vintage port a couple months ago, I got it on sale at my local K&L wines. Well worth checking out their website because they ship too.
Also, had the 20yr old Tawny from Taylor at a party. All three were very tasty! |

Re: The Port Wine Thread
What is the taste difference between 10 yr Grahams and 20 yr Grahams? I am pretty new to the port scene and have only had Six Grapes. I want to try Grahams but am not 100% port is for me and don't want to drop $60 on a bottle of 20.

This a a very good to great port. The 20 years has more depth to it and is less sweet. I find the 10 year great for weekly and 20 for at least once a month or when I have people over as an after dinner and dessert wine. If anyone can tell me if the 40 year is worth 3 times the 20, I'd appreciate it as I want an honest answer rather than taking the word of the liquor store salesman |
