Re: 2015 Broadbent
90% opacity, dark purple. Pepper and dark fruit on the nose. Smooth, tannic entry, fruit quite sweet & soft, plums. Strange, given the colour, but seems already more mature than the 00/03/07.

Re: Quinta do Cachao Vertical on Wed 23rd October 2019
dear Tony, would it be possible to arrange an extra space ? (for my wife) It isn't necessary that she partecipate at the tasting... Hi Daniel - I think the seating plan is limited to 14 (someone please correct me if I am wrong). I have put your good lady down as first reserve (for the moment). Spac...

1966 Quinta do Noval
60% opacity, dull murky red/brown. Cherry and cranberry nose, sweetness. Soft, rich mouthfeel, red fruit, sweetness. Lovely mature lip-licking sweetness. One of the better Noval '66 in the past couple of years.

Re: 1987 Taylor Vargellas
50% opacity, ruby red. Concentrated sugar and spice nose. Smooth entry, spice & pepper, rich mouthfeel, some dryness. Nice port! After some hints from Charles (only had this once before), I settled on a guess of 1987, given the colour of the port. Considering my note mentioning spice and pepper, qui...

Re: Vintage rankings - 2017 awarded alpha status
Many thanks for this Tom - always makes fascinating reading. I took a scan down your new ratings for the last 60 vintages, and there were a group that I found very interesting: 1987 C 1985 C + 1983 B 1980 B 1975 B - Which when rearranged into best to worst gives 1980, 1983, 1975, 1985, 1987. There a...

Count me in, date dependent. 17th works for me if that is chosen.

Re: Placemat wizard
Folks, the wizard website will be unavailable likely until Jan 2020. The location of my server has no electricity while renovations are happening. So it’s doors to manual for now.

Bottle dropped off. I mentioned we might be just three poor souls in need of port and said if so, we may jump into the cabin.

Re: Thurs 26th Sept - Confirmed
If there are only three of us, maybe we could re=locate to the 4-seater cabin in the main bar? I land at LHR at 17:30, so might be closer to 19:00 when I arrive. I'll drop my bottle off on Tues or Weds.

Re: 10th Sep 2019 - 1966 Horizontal at the B&F
The winds have shifted, there may now be a chance I can attend. Was supposed to be in Chicago but now a possibility that isn’t happening. Will hopefully figure out before end of tomorrow. Alas, the winds have not changed. I’ll be landing in Chicago just as the first drops of ‘66 are passing your li...

Re: 10th Sep 2019 - 1966 Horizontal at the B&F
Tragic alert. Now appearing unlikely I can make this date. I'll confirm one way or another by the end of the week, but thought it would be helpful to signal early so that reserves can get excited...
