Just opened a $250 bottle of port - Hackers - Feb 6, 2024
I must say, it tastes pretty harsh, but also quite sweet? Gabriella (fiance) says it "tastes old". It's a nice bottle from 1970 worth around $250 or so, but condition is less than perfect. We'll keep drinking it in slow sips for now. Was not originally planning on opening this, but can't waste it now.
Honestly, not loving it and will probably not finish.

Enjoy.. well, try to at least, as it sounds like you don't really fancy the taste. Usually the older, the better. Not sure what happened with that one, lol.

Try having something else along with the port so it isnโt as bad

Sometimes those are the ones that hit best lowkey.

Thanks for sharing. I think I would have expected it to taste a little better.
Sorry to hear that it's disappointing!

I'm sure it did, but this bottle did survive a mini flood, years of questionable temperature control, etc.
Not too surprised honestly lol

Sounds like a bottle with a whole lot of added character and that just makes having gotten to drink it all the better ๐

Oh yeah, exactly - builds the memories for later days when we'll think back to these times. That bottle of port was roaming around for a while!

True, this is one of those weird cases where in hindsight I'd ship it for the shipping cost + some bytes & come out ahead.
BUT, even with its flavor and... texture... it's still nice to have a memory of the time we drank this.
