I have the 18 yr old of this and agreed very underrated. Pairs well with a medium bodied cigar like a Punch or a RyJ.

From Wed evening last week but still good for a rye. Lip service rye and a good smoke.

Had a great birthday lunch Saturday at Vue de Monde. Went the 10 course with the mid-priced wine match. Here's a few of the wines I enjoyed in the early courses.

@Bill Hayes thanks for the inspiration ! 94 and humid today. Tastes like water ?. I post here b/c daily beer gets a serious lack of love ....

cheers

Not a big Port aficionado but opened this up today. Currently enjoying it with a Cohiba Siglo IV.

That should be a good one.  I have '94 Ferreira LBV that is still young.  Ferreira may be some of the longest live ports.  Never a brute, but can somehow just keep going and going. 

Their tawny's are among my favorites.

Had a few of these in the last couple of years and they have all been very good.

agree. ferriera ages amazingly well. did a tasting in oporto a few years back, which was their VPs back to the 1840s. extraordinary. also from the 1890s, the 1917, the 1945 and so on. 

afterwards, was talking to one of rhe older local winemakers. he had heard we were doing this and was curious. he told me he was down to his last three bottles of 1847. turns out his grandmother (great-grandmother?) had actually made them.

Pretty decent and inexpensive

Donatella Ferreira was one of the biggest land owners and real power players back in the day in Portugal.

amazing woman.

BC, there is a great story, which i am sure you have probably heard, about how she was travelling down the douro in one of those fabulous rabelo boats (my last trip to oporto, i got an invite to be in one for the annual race but my flights were locked in and i could not stay the extra few days sadly - always wanted a go in one).

it was a dangerous journey back then. apparently the boat flipped in rapids and almost everyone on board drowned. dona ferreira and a couple of the other women on board survived because they were wearing those voluminous dresses of the era that kept them afloat. and upright. the sight of 2-3 women in colourful huge dresses floating down the douro must have been something.

Starting to run out of 2000 Bordeaux’s but this one was excellent with a nice prime rib dinner tonight.

That wine brings back good memories. Years ago I had some of the 1989 and it was fabulous.

Fan of this producer. Nice density wonderfully balanced with acidity and tannin. Juicy but not overtly fruity. Love it.

Pretty hectic week! I haven't been able to relax, a break away to smoke a stogie in two weeks. Well I'm ending this week with Knob Creek 2001 Limited. This might call for a Luisitania.
