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.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

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.
Re: Tue 24 November 2020 - A Tasting with Sophia Bergqvist
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?

I picked up the 2015 Waitrose VP this afternoon so we will probably have a glass of that as well.
Re: Tue 24 November 2020 - A Tasting with Sophia Bergqvist
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!

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.
Re: Tue 24 November 2020 - A Tasting with Sophia Bergqvist
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.

Re: Tue 24 November 2020 - A Tasting with Sophia Bergqvist
Is that the 2018 Vintage Port or the DOC table wine?

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