Emergency Tasting Monday 8 May 2023

Post by idj123 »

For the benefit of one of us whose last day of being able to do what he wants when he wants! Theme: VP from 1985 or earlier that is neither SFE or TFP at that time. Location: the B & F at the usual time. Who’s thirsty?

I might be able to be thirsty.

A request for clarification - is the Port not to be TFP / SFE at the time of making or at the time of drinking?
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

Is three people an adequate number? Given of the three, only one is based in London should we consider a different location - Reading perhaps?

I think three on a bank holiday is too few.

If others disagree, then if placemats were made, could they be printed?
