I have no idea what this is, or when it is for

I'll check my notes, but off the top of my head I would add:
- Dow (used to be available, not sure if it still is)
- Quinta do Vallado
- Quinta da Devesa
- Palmer
- (and confirming yes there is a) Quinta Santa Eufêmia

aye

This needs to be rescheduled. Any objection to Wednesday 06 April 2022?

(Easter will be Sunday 17 April 2022.)

and the BFT will be 31 Mar 2022.

Sounds sensible; but since I couldn't make the original date, I'm not on the list; reserve please.

Agree that next year would be the obvious time for a '92 tasting - not that we couldn't have more than one ofc, but I suspect we will have quite a few others we might also like to have this year if we are able.

Great tasting note Will, interesting to read and with some wonderful phrasing!

Dark dark red, 100% opaque. I know we know what we mean colloquially, but I wish we could find a more pragmatic method to be more precise. While almost nothing is 100% opaque if you use a thin enough sample, I accept that if we're only interested in a measure to an accuracy of say 5%, we still at l...

I have organized another tasting with Oscar Quevedo for 31 March - this will be a blend your own tawny - he is supplying four components that go into his 20 year plus the final blend. Should be a fun thing - Only 90 packs will be available - Probably underestimated number. If Simon does not beat me...

What is meant by a Fonseca SQVP?

Fonseca Quinta do Panascal, which has been released at least a dozen known times since 1984 and possibly more?

May I infer the exclusion of Fonseca Guimaraens?

A gentleman would never exclude Fonseca Guimaraens.

I have Churchill 91, Agua Alta 95 and Gricha 05 (and the Club 09). As per the de la Rosa tasting might be able to do some samples.

If you were able and willing, that would be wonderful.

Prefer DrB for clearer differentiation from Dow Bonfim.

Thanks for the warning. If you are happy to reply privately by PM to let me know what the other two sites are (once you've changed your passwords on them of course) I'll see whether I can identify which was breached, if it is long enough ago to determine.

Mine will probably be Ch82

Yes please

IVDP for their policy on

Sounds good to me, yes please also.

I decided to open an unknown. I've tonged the top off the bottle and now it's Audouzing gently in the cellar. I'll push the cork out this evening. Following Alex's initiative, I decided to follow his example as I have an unknown "believed 63" with destroyed (black) capsule and unreadable label (tho...

Hi Guys, could the participants of this tasting with some experience of the wines tell me how the 85 and 70 were from the smaller bottles? Hi Axel, I did also wonder how the wines - particularly the '70 - would hold up to being decanted at least 48hrs ahead; I needn't have worried. The G70 (which I...

I'm in.

Confirmed.

Many thanks also to both Alex for organising, and for Neil for arranging and sharing some ports for this tasting - much appreciated, thank you both.

My opinion is that the need for an abbreviation should arise from the winemaker’s intention to make a distinction between winemaking philosophies. Thus the winemaker clearly intends Croft Vintage Port to be viewed as distinct and different from Croft Quinta da Roeda Vintage Port; or Fonseca to be v...

Mrs W. has a pro Zoom.

She does, but how did you know that?! Oh, you mean your wife...

Hi Brian; could you give us an idea of your rough location? Also it would be helpful to know the level of the wine in the bottle (i.e. with bottles stood upright, is the level of the wine above or below the join of the main bottle body and the neck, and by roughly how much. Cheers (and welcome to TP...
