Re: 1985 Dow Crusted
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...

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...

Re: How to record personal tasting notes
Welcome to TPF Simon
Like Daniel, I also just keep my notes here on TPF. I use an iOS app called VinoCell to keep track of what bottles I have.
Look forward to meeting you at a tasting.

Two shapes have been proposed: few shippers but twice each; or many shippers. Reasoning and preference, please. And should either shape include the magnums? Edit: there are 1985s we have quite often, chiefly Fonseca, but other big shippers as well. Should these be excluded? I would just go for sing...
