Re: 1935 Croft
35% opacity, mature red-orange. Nose is lively, cranberries. Full mouthfeel, gentle heat, some bitterness and then drying cranberries. Acidity slightly dominates. I liked, 2 points.

Re: 1927 Croft
10% opacity, straw yellow. Almonds on the nose. Soft, smooth chewy almond and vanilla. Seems like a bottle that has started to oxidise, but perhaps only recently.

A '47 vertical would be very flat.

Re: Croft vertical, Tue 07 Nov 2023
I can be there early on the 7th, but I can't print. Placemat set-up will need attention given we are 14 and A3+half A4.
Who can print and be there for 5-5.30??

Placemats checked - look good to me.jdaw1 wrote: ↑22:52 Tue 31 Oct 2023 Harry does have a ’27, and a ’94, and has volunteered both. Thank you.
Food order submitted.
I expect that David G.’s possible ’17 won’t arrive in time, so it has been removed from the placemats. Indeed, placemats believed good: somebody please check.

Re: 1993 Querbach, Oestricher Lenchen Riesling Spatlese Halbtrocken
10% opacity, straw yellow. Melon, lychee on the nose. Fresh with gentle citrus in the mouth, lemon. Was perhaps not expected to be alive, yet proved otherwise - balanced and refreshing, but only for 60 minutes, after which fell apart somewhat.

Re: 1993 Quinta Das Liceiras
45% opacity, red-brown. Nose has sweetness, molasses, and loose tea leaves. In the mouth, molasses, leather and tea. Just a touch on the flabby side, acidity fading a little.

No note taken, but this was as would be expected! Sweet and gloopy. Vanilla ice cream was ordered for dessert...

Re: 1993 Grand Listrac Selection
70% opacity, deep garnet. Nose is lively with red fruit. The promise made by the deep colour and lively nose was broken however - faint red fruit on the palate, but lacking structure and backbone. Nevertheless a fair accompaniment to the steak.

Re: 1993 Rioja Bordon Reserva - Bodegas Franco
65% opacity, brick red, slightly dull. Lovely red fruit nose, floral notes, leather and tea. Only just still alive, quite thin, fruit faded, structure not there.

35% opacity, amber. Rich, nutty, with a flat grittiness. That made sense whaen I wrote it...not sure i can explain though! George said "umami", which makes sense.

Re: NV Dow 30YO
45% opacity, dark copper. Tart orange fruit on the nose. Lively acidity, oranges, and dry. Punchy - a little bit overpowered even.

Re: NV Calem 30YO
40% opacity, toffee amber. Lovely warm rounded nose with lots of honeycomb, cedar, almonds. Very smooth in the mouth, honeycomb and almonds again. Very enjoyable. Noticeably different to the other two 30YO on parade at this event, the Dow 30YO and the San Leonardo 30YO.

Re: 1993 Barros LBV
45% opacity, dull brick red. Nose has soft, sweet cherries, some dustiness. MId-weight, faint tannins, gentle heat, a little cherry fruit still there. Not stellar port, but pretty good for a year that was a complete howler.
