Re: 1970 Horizontal - Tier 3 ports

I would like to taste the Tier 3 ports, and the evening prior to the tasting would suit me.

Re: 2020 - A 1970 horizontal

I don’t have any 1970 but I can add a potential venue for this event (Oriental Club) in case the other proposed venues are not available/don’t work for the number of attendees, etc. Of course please let me know, via PM, if more info is needed.

Re: Tom’s Birthday 1960 Horizontal, Tue 02 June 2020

If possible, please could I be listed as an adopter (because I merely have a dubious looking Cr60 at present). It is anticipated—and hoped—that this situation will change between now and the event, so I’ll update the thread accordingly.

Re: POCAS VINTAGE VERTICAL DATE TBD

I really enjoyed the “Portuguese-style” Vintage Ports at the recent Messias vertical, and it would be great to see what a different house has to offer - please can I be added to the list? Thanks.

Re: NV Broadbent Auction Reserve

A good balance of fruits on the nose (I thought it was quite “plummy”, overall). More fruits on tasting (now more like berries), along with some spice (pepper?). My favourite aspect, though, was the very sustained and enjoyable finish!
