A tasting on my 63rd birthday - why not?
Will also allow me to bring down a first load of 83's and drop them off..

Re: 83@40 2023 - May 25th
Consensus seems to be in favour of including the NN.
Could attendees volunteer bottles for inclusion please. I will then endeavour to fill the gaps.

Re: 2020 Declarations
Can't be long before we'll need a 2021 thread started. After a rush of declarations in the middle of the last decade, we've now had a rather long wait for a classic vintage. The early indications on both '21 and '22 suggest that both years worked well for some producers, but not all - so are we goin...

Re: 83@40 2023 - May 25th
Are you looking for contributions towards the line-up? I can comfortably bring down up to eight bottles on the day, more is a bit of a struggle, unless we have an intermediate event that I can use to drop bottles off. Big question to decide is whether to include the Nacional or not. Whilst the tast...

Re: The 1980s & quality
F80 in my book is an OK VP, but far from typical for a Fonseca and trades for well above its worth.
W80 is typically 10% cheaper, and 100% better.

Re: The Warre 2006 LBV mystery
What airline carries it? I know Lufthansa has Graham's TWAIOA and LBV Lufthansa used to, but they seem to skip around the producers - they were heavily into Niepoort for a while, and I think they served me Taylor once. Thai has always had Warre, and IIRC it was also on board Turkish and EVA when I ...

The Warre 2006 LBV mystery
Warre have two LBV offerings - the blue foil bottle aged variety that we tend to see most of, and a young red foil offering with T stopper that seems to be mostly, but not exclusively, sold to airlines. I surmise that the blue foil variant is by far the biggest seller, but I don't know that for a fa...

Re: Bottling dates on LBVs (& others)
Although the rules say 4th year after harvest as the earliest bottling date, which I would assume is Jan 1st, nothing ever seems to get to market before the second half of that year. Niepoort is usually quick off the blocks but most of the others drag their feet - as of today, only 4 of the 75 LBVs ...

Re: Please help me find a 1964 Dow Bomfim
I had just assumed it was a Bomfim because, well, 1964 wasn't a good year. Not a bad year either - all my encounters have been good. The producers were so signed up to declare '63 after the '63 harvest, I don't think they gave '64 a chance. I've never seen a D64 offered, but I do have the extremely...

Take care guys - we've had a tiny bit of a thaw this afternoon, but it's now freezing again - there's some really slippery ice around.
