I hope to join you.

Just in case there is any confusion, I'd like to make it clear that you can choose to drink any bottle(s) you like for this tasting. Please feel free to duplicate what others have already chosen if you want / need to.

92 for me.

Given the imminent lockdown, is this the plan for a virtual tasting? I'd like to be involved if so, but if we plan to do another one I will join that.

I think we will try the 2016 Quinta de la Rosa Tinto and 2016 douROSA table wines. (We had these at our wedding since we stayed at the Quinta during our first proper holiday abroad). Haven’t quite yet decided whether to add a Port or, if so, which one: I don’t think I own any at the moment. Will keep you posted.

You're unlikely to get it by the 24th, but if you want some mature(?) de la Rosa there's a full 12bt case of the 94 available on WineOwners.com for £600 (duty & VAT paid, but excluding fees & delivery).

Hi, I have a '91 (courtesy of Tony) and would love to join. I presume this an online tasting?

It is indeed. You're on the list

Hi, for mit is the Tawny Port. After checking I found no Quinta de la Rosa ports in my house This was the easiest to aquire for me.

I picked up the 2015 Waitrose VP this afternoon so we will probably have a glass of that as well.

AHB, NAC, JDAW, GEAG, SCD, PW will all have Tawny, 1988VP, 1994VP, 2015VP(Waitrose).

I'd like to join but won't have anything on brand to drink, I'm interested in the conversation anyway!

I am switching bottles and will try the 1988

Yes, I love to participate. I will decide what to drink later...

Struggled to find as I very seldom come across this brand. Found out the agent is JN Wines and managed to get Quinta De La Rosa 2018 and LBV 2015. Have never tasted anything from this company.

Having now secured a bottle (of the 1988) could I be included, in this tasting please?

Rich - that's absolutely fine. I'll add you to the list of participants. If you want to try to hunt a bottle down, Waitrose stock some of the la Rosa wines as well as the VP and Berry's have la Rosa as their own label LBV.

Is that the 2018 Vintage Port or the DOC table wine?

Placemats...

Very nice. Thank you.

Excellent. Thank you Julian and Neil.

Wasn’t able to get the ‘88. Having a hard time finding a bottle near me but hopefully can pick up an LBV tomorrow.
