Vintage Port Wines https://www.wine-searcher.com/regions-vintage+port Vintage Port is the most expensive and prestigious member of the Port family. Though accounting for just a fraction of total Port production, Vintage Port is the Douro's flagship style, produced only from a single vineyard in an exceptional year. A Vintage is "declared" in only when both the quality and quantity of the available fruit align. Samples are submitted to the Institute of Douro and Porto Wine in January, two years after harvest. After tested and tasted for quality assessment, vintage declarations are made by the end of June. Vintage Port is made from the best grapes in the Douro, typically from the Cima Corgo subregion. The grapes are left to achieve full ripeness before they are picked, vinified and then fortified with high-proof grape spirit. Vintage Port spends a short time aging in barrel – only two to three years – and is bottled, unfiltered, when it is still very dense and full of sediment. This is why Vintage Port's minimum bottle-aging period is considered to be 15 years, and it is often said that no other wine requires as much time in bottle to balance itself. The finest examples are capable of vitality well after 50 years. As technological advances improve wine-making equipment and the ability to predict weather forecasts, it is likely that port houses will be producing years of Vintage Port more and more often. Recent widely declared vintage years include 1994, 1997, 2003, 2007 and 2011. Critical successes have helped bring about a renewal of interest in the style, and Vintage Port is often considered as an alternative to Bordeaux or Burgundy as an addition to the cellar. Decanting Vintage Port prior to serving is necessary, as the sediment in the bottle can often become crusty over time. snip https://islandwinestore.com/gb/blog/post/33/most-expensive-port-wine 1.

Quinta do Noval Nacional Vintage Port 1937 - €3,500 5. Fonseca Vintage Port 1977 - €2,500 The most expensive port wine ever sold was Quinta do Noval Nacional Vintage Port 1962, which sold for €8,900. This port wine was made from a single vintage and was aged for decades in oak barrels, resulting in a complex, rich flavor. It is considered to be one of the finest port wines ever produced. Other expensive port wines include Quinta do Noval Nacional Vintage Port 1945, which sold for €5,000, and Quinta do Noval Nacional Vintage Port 1940, which sold for €4,000. All of these wines are produced in the Douro Valley and aged for decades in oak barrels, resulting in a unique flavor and aroma that is prized by connoisseurs. Port wine is made by fortifying grapes juice before it ferments and adding grape brandy during the fermentation process of the blend. This gives the wine a strong, sweet flavor with a reddish-brown color. The flavor of port wine can range from floral and fruity to complex and rich depending on the type and age of the wine. Port wine is a unique and complex drink that can be enjoyed by connoisseurs and novices alike. The price of port wine can fluctuate depending on the availability and demand for a certain vintage, making it an interesting and ever-changing market. Absolutely no chance am paying silly money for that lol, give me a san Miguel or a dark fruit coder any day of the week then I'll finish that night off on the rum!!!

Tomo 21,751 Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 18 hours ago, TheHulk said: He hasn't even overachieved at Brighton, what are we talking about here? Brighton are absolutely flying this season without him and the likes of Moyes saved West Ham from relegated and after had back to back Top 7 finishes and no one here thinks he is a top manager but for some reason Potter finishing once in the Top 10 now means he accomplished something. He took over a team that barely survived, left the 4th, they're now 8th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laylabelle 9,536 Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 (edited) I mean if they see the season as gone which it is at this rate..he'll stay. If they want go aim for least Europa or higher then 10th...he needs to toddle off but can't see it. All the money spent and we can't get a win it'd be funny if was another team Edited February 26, 2023 by Laylabelle Johnnyeye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post! Pizy 18,952 Posted February 26, 2023 Popular Post! Share Posted February 26, 2023 Get a new manager in now to lay the foundation and to start integrating his ideas for the remainder of this season. This cannot go on. The squad is full of absolute quality that’s being managed by someone in FAR over his head. We need someone wit real personality and who commands respect. Someone with an ironclad idea and style. Potter ain’t scaring any of these players or holding them accountable because they all know they’re bigger than he is. We need a ruthless man with real balls.
