Re: Niepoort '11
Thursday this week in London works for me as I have a meeting in London Friday and could stay in London on Thursday night. The alternative is that I need to travel to Ipswich for Thursday, so an overnight stay in Saffron Walden on Wednesday night would be convenient.

I will be in London on Thursday evening. I have a Niepoort Pisca 2007 (or perhaps it's 2008?) Cask Sample that could be added to the line-up

Re: Niepoort '11
Can I propose a Kiev leg to this tasting - visiting a friend there. Army type - she likes port! Just a question of what I can get into hand luggage or buy at LHR. Anyone know what the availability of port is like at LHR duty free these days? (T5)

Re: Niepoort '11
T5, last week, from memory, had:
- a Noval Silval (1998?), for in the region of £35-£45;
- Taylor 85 (for in the region of £80 all-in); and
- one other (i want to say Cavadinha 1996, though can;t be sure if that's right or on price).
Perhaps a couple of tawnies as well but i can't recall (distracted by 3 for 2 on giant Toblerone at that point).
And what looked, at a fleeting glance, like a very impressive collection of very expensive Bordeaux/Champagne.

Re: Niepoort '11
I went through T5 a week or two ago. They had some port - but I think there was only one vintage option and a couple of LBVs. I don't remember what the vintage option was - Kopke 1985 maybe?
But I can't remember because I was distracted by the Faustino I which was on sale at £12.99 - £10 voucher. I bought as much as I could.

Re: Niepoort '11
Perhaps port is on the shelf in more than one place within T5, since i do not remember either the Kopke or seeing any LBVs. The stash i saw was by the "fine wine" section, which had an impressive climatised wine cabinet holding a load of first growths.AHB wrote:I went through T5 a week or two ago.

I was going to suggest October 11th at the RAF
Re: Niepoort '11
That is a good call as it would give more people the chance to taste this unusual sample.Andy Velebil wrote:I was going to suggest October 11th at the RAF

It looks like I am going to have to drive into London on October 6th, so this suggestion is a good one IMO.Andy Velebil wrote:I was going to suggest October 11th at the RAF

Re: Niepoort '11
I would be very impressed if AHB could drink enough of a less-than-one-month-old Port to exceed the drink drive limit!AHB wrote:It looks like I am going to have to drive into London on October 6th, so this suggestion is a good one IMO.Andy Velebil wrote:I was going to suggest October 11th at the RAF

Re: Niepoort '11
I sampled a glass of the one-day-fortified port, drawn directly from the tank - it was much more approachable than one might have expected..I would be very impressed if AHB could drink enough of a less-than-one-month-old Port to exceed the drink drive limit!
