| | Here's the problem with the Port. A 17 year old Port has plenty of sediment. It was bottle #10 of the evening. Of course the Richebourg went down the drain and two other bottles were 375s, but you get the picture. Somebody poured the Port back in the bottle. What I should have done was to pour out the sediment bearing portion of the wine, give it a rinse, and THEN pour the decanted Port back in the bottle. Sorry. | | | |

| | Board-O, I just think we were all just being silly and did not ask for the cheese cloth. Everyone knows how much sediment a vintage port that old can have. Seemed like a good quarter bottle of sediment in the 70 Dow I had awhile back. | |

| I've got to be honest here....I didn't care for the port at all.
The nose (and ensuing flavor) of model airplane glue (Estes?) just wouldn't go away. I was envisioning a lush, sweet, delicate dessert wine and got a mouthful of epoxy (good call Jazin!).
Are we sure this bottle wasn't bad? | | | |

| | Well, it wasn't bad a day earlier, but it did sit in the decanter for hours before being poured back on the sediment. | | | |

| | I thought it was very nice...... I let the sediment settle in my glass and didn't suck any down. | |

Who are all these folks!?
Seriously, a "names" legend would be great. Nice to put a purple smile with a moniker. | | | |
