1982 Sandeman vintage port
Glowing red colour, pale and transparent but clear and bright. Slightly mushroomy on the nose - a bit worrying, but after a few minutes this developed to be much more of a herbaceous note. Sweet initial impact, followed by dry tannins on the cheeks. Soft cherry juice fruit, although a little simple ...

1975 Kopke Quinta de Sao Luiz vintage port
Kopke. Slight cloudy appearane. Pale red in colour. Floran nose, slightly chocolately and with a touch of white pepper, but very restrained.

1980 Croft Quinta da Roeda vintage port
Slightly cloudy appearance, pale in colour. Showing little on the nose and with a hollow impact followed with lots of heat in the palate and very little fruit. Patience with the wine in the mouth allows some candied fruit to come through. The aftertaste is hollow but eventually some bitter orange pe...

1985 Messias Colheita
Bought by the glass from Gordon's wine bar in Charing Cross. A very pale orange in the candlelight on the table; nosing of sweet floral perfume over golden syrup. Sweet and sugary in the mouth, full of golden sultanas and violet perfume. Delicious mid-palate development with surprising complexity. A...

Lightly fruity with a peppery bite in the ...

1970 Dow vintage port
Deep red centre, clear and going rosy on the rim. Nosing of chart cherries and rhubarb. Quite dry on entry, with soft tannins behind the ripe fruit; full bodied and beautifully complex with a slightly bitter element. Warm and delicious aftertaste; mouthfilling and with a very long length which is su...

Re: 23rdFebruary offline @ The Crusting Pipe - Vesuvio vertical.
In a fit of enthusiasm and anticipation for this coming Vesuvio vertical, I had a quick trawl through the vintages which people have identified that they have available, and come up with the following list: DRT - 1994, 1996, 1997 WS1 - 1999, 2000, 2003, 2005 ARK - 1996 (having drunk all his 1994) C...

The evening usually starts with people arriving between 6:30 and 7:00, we have a bite to eat and then drink some port. These offlines are very informal - come along with...

An Oporto bottled Rebello Valente 1963, popped open at 6:30 and about half left now. Much better than I was expecting.

This is a large format bottle that we purchased from the IVDP when they announced that there were no restrictions on bottle format any more.

Re: Eufémia, and variations
..."Taylor's Quinta de Pablo" then this is how it should be listed in a tasting note. My personal preference would be for the tasting note to be listed as Quinta de Pablo and have a reference in the tasting note to the fact that the quinta was owned by or the wines were bottled by Taylor....

Re: 1984 Kopke Colheita
I've read this note with interest. Colheitas are something of an unknown world to me, and 1984 is a vintage I've only tried once as LBV. Thanks for posting it.
