Very cool. I totally understood you here. I’ve had opportunities to try some vintage Bordeaux’s. Even though some of those wines were on the decline I still cherished the experience and appreciated the fact that the wine was still able to be drunk with enough structure left. Wine is amazing!
Amazing episode!! Being born in Porto myself, I fell proud to hear you talking so highly of the city and happy that you had a good time and a one of a life time experience tasting that amazing 1863 Port. Cheers 🍷
I had a 1977 porto a couple week ago. all that was really left was the brandy character. I had the same port around 14 years ago and it was much much better. sometimes things just get too old, and thats what makes it foolish to invest in long long term wines
Yeah, it's definitely a gamble. I think a lot of people would say that's the fun of it, but its an expensive hobby! Need to have that perfect combo of year, producer, and luck to have good wine thats this old!
That must had been a life changing experience Vince! Could you explain the 2008 cork that shows in the video? Was that the last time they recorked it? Loved the video and Cheers amigo!
