Some I have enjoyed:
Vintage-
Ferreira 94, couldn't resist it
Fonseca 85, classic floral aroma
Graham's 85, 91, 94, all pure hedonism, as usual. The wife's favorite.
Dow's 85, 91, big wines (holding - impatiently - the 94)
Vesuvio 90, 91, some of the best port I've had
Broadbent 94, some snobs told me not to bother. But on the advice of a guy who actually knows, I tried and enjoyed it immensely. Huge, ripe fruit, dark chocolate, and a distinct floral aroma. (This wine is now closed up tight. I'm glad I tried it upon release.)
10 year tawny-
Graham's, liquid dessert
Ramos Pinto Ervamoira, outstanding! Like a chocolate bar with raisins and bananas, covered with pecans and caramel. Hedonsim.
Dow's, in a word...noble.
(Before you accuse me of vinological infanticide, please know that I love young, bold port for what it is, as well as well-aged mellowed port. 8) )
Please tell me how your Taylor and Warre's are drinking. I am holding some 80s and 90s vintages.
Any other port fans?
