I was just wondering so that we had them on-line before I create the downloads.
OK. Will do in a few hours.

Perhaps suppliers of bottles could post information about provenance in the appropriate TN threads?

I note that the title of the tasting note for the Nacional is "1966 Nacional". Should we follow that lead for future tasting notes of the Nacional wines (ie. omit any reference to Noval)?

I vote no. I prefer the use of the full description Quinta do Noval Nacional, preferably with the funny little curly thing at the bottom of the c in Nacional

“Naçional†?! Please help me believe by uploading a picture of a bottle with a label in which the c of Nacional has a cedilla.

I'm not too surprised as a large proportion, posted by Axel, LadyR and I, come from Vesuvio vertical tastings at the Quinta. Many others come from Alex 'Vesuvio' Bridgeman - He has a username with a H in the middle instead of a V just to throw us off

“Robertson’s Rebello Valente† and “Rebello Valente†

Just noticed that we had both “Robertson’s Rebello Valente† and “Rebello Valente†. Now merged into the longer name.

TN index updated—apologies for tardiness. Now so long that it needs three posts (there is an upper limit to the size of a single post, that I think is 32k characters). Front-page link also updated. Comments welcomed.

I like the new features very much.
Thank you.

For the newly-arrived or unobservant:
- House names now link to the website for that brand, where one exists and is known to me.
- Each VP brand has been assigned a unique abbreviation, and to encourage their consistent use, they are shown appended by the year (e.g., “BI63† = Borges & Irmão 1963).
- Standardisation of representation of “LBV†, “colheita†, and the like.
But there’s a price. The auto-correcting software will doubtless introduce new errors: start at
this post to find them and shame me (before I find them without the shaming).

We appear to have been extremely busy since the last update. This is becoming a very impressive tasting notes database.
Thank you for all the hard work.

Can I suggest that "Quinta do Noval Nacional vintage port" should appear as "Quinta do Noval Nacional vintage port"?

You
may suggest it. The software can do “
Quinta do Noval Nacional vintage port†, which isn’t quite what you ask.
Or find a better link, which may be a deep-link.

Their site uses Flashiness that prevents me from isolating a url to a Nacional-only page. Your compromise is better than nothing.

Can’t be bothered with the complicated copy-pasting right now, but the database has been updated so it’ll appear next time I can.

A suggestion: Quinta do Noval Nacional should come immediately after Qunita do Noval in the TN Index. Mainly just because it should.
Works for me.
