Re: 1985 horizontal: Wed 25th Nov 2015, B&F
If I had to pick three to drop I'd probably say Delaforce, Gonzalez M and Morgan.

Re: 1985 horizontal: Wed 25th Nov 2015, B&F
We now have 19 bottles and 1 magnum between currently, ten attendees. What could possibly go wrong!?
I think we either need to enlist some more people to help sup, or make some choices about reducing the line-up.
Thoughts?

Re: 1963 Ferreira
Sounds delicious! A quick question about your opacity description - is 90% meaning it is a dark purple, near black non see-through beast, or at the other end of the spectrum - almost a clear liquid?

After 48 hours this was not so special, but still pleasant. Now more full, but a bit less velvety.

NV Dow Crusted 1985
Picked this up in a bundle of oddities at auction recently. Decanted 1 hour, 30% opacity, brown-red. Nose of mature port - strawberry, prunes, violets, really quite candied and floral at the same time. In the mouth, very smooth, just a very little bit of heat mid palate, with strawberry again, and a...

Re: 1985 horizontal: Wed 25th Nov 2015, B&F
Ahem. [raises hand]. Ahem. Might we be slightly over analysing this? I don't think there is any drive or intent to set a precedent here. If Wolfgang were to suggest backup bottles for a 94 horizontal, I suspect there would be universal rejection of the idea! Who cares if a few bottles are flawed. Ba...
