The 1970 vintage is 50 years old this year. Birthday celebrations are required.
What: 1970, Flight 5
When: Thurs 8 October 2020
Where: The Red Room, The Boot & Flogger (Google maps)
Timing: 18:00 for 18:30
Please note: preference for attendance will be given to people who are able to provide bottles from Tier 3. Which means some of those currently in places 1-14 might get bumped because someone in reserve has a bottle to offer.
Also, depending on our ability to collectively source the bottles across all tiers, it might happen that the Thursday is cancelled, because we don't collect enough bottles to make it worthwhile, in which case we'll squeeze what we have into Friday.

People:
[this list is based on the initial soundings for those interested in tasting the Tier 3 ports. Confirmations will be made in this thread.]
This is going to be a challenge to put this together - the saving grace is that it will only need to be one bottle.
At the moment from Tier 3 - I have Royal Oporto, Dalva, Santos Junior and Borges. I'll put them aside as I suspect they will be adopted. I'll keep an eye out for any others.

I have Hutchison and Barros of the tier 3 Ports. Mike, would it be helpful to paste the list of the tier 3 Ports into the top of this thread so that we can more readily view?

Thanks Ian. Have added a link in the top post to get to the list of shippers in tiers.
It might or might not be, you never know in Porto. It is the same company- but to know if it is the same juice inside the bottle you have to ask a port wine expert.
