HABEMUS VINTAGE PORT
The O-PORT-UNIDADE Port (http://www.o-port-unidade.com) has been accepted as Vintage Port at the IVDP and will be bottled as such.
Horray, first toast will be on 09 May at the RAF Club in London.

Congratulations Axel!
Re: HABEMUS VINTAGE PORT
Go on, tell us. How many times did you have to submit the identical wine before they passed it? (No shame — great Ports need at least twice to defeat the IVDP.)

Re: HABEMUS VINTAGE PORT
Fantastic, Axel! Well done. I still think this is one of the coolest things in the history of Port!

Re: HABEMUS VINTAGE PORT
I was also somewhat prepared to do this more than once. Acutally when it is declined as VP you need to put this up to the Interprofessional Council to discuss. It took a while due to Easter, but went through on the frist attempt.jdaw1 wrote:Go on, tell us. How many times did you have to submit the identical wine before they passed it?

Much looking forward to receiving your comments in London

Re: HABEMUS VINTAGE PORT
Will this be available in the USA?

Perhaps a better question is where will it be available?mosesbotbol wrote:Will this be available in the USA?
Even if it isn't available in the USA, I'm going to want to pick up at least a few bottles. Very cool project, Axel!

Re: HABEMUS VINTAGE PORT
If we ever come around a "joint" tasting between the US and the Europeans, I am more then happy to put a bottle in. If you want to taste overseas I am also more than happy to pass a bottle or two to Andy.

Re: HABEMUS VINTAGE PORT
@Andy: If you like I will ship some bottles to Porto for you to take with you in June. How many can you carry?

Re: HABEMUS VINTAGE PORT
I am going to bring some with me. Either you drink them or share them with the US Port lovers. Strange that Roy never reported on this.

Re: HABEMUS VINTAGE PORT
If you wanted to, you could bring one to the 12th Anniversary tasting. I'd find some way to rationalize it fitting the theme.

Re: HABEMUS VINTAGE PORT
So disappointing.
Thirsty. Open proper bottle. Make progress: drink an amount that feels like ⅚ of the whole. Return for a top-up and — and catastrophe. Disaster and devastation, calamity and debacle, an unheralded emergency: it’s all gone. Too small.
Six litres is the way forward. Trust me.
