Re: 1882 Magazine from Symington Family Estates
The link Mike posted is to the edition which came out in 2022. I don’t think there’s a third edition out yet. I wonder why it took a while for this edition to be made available electronically - SFE’s blog (https://www.symington.com/post/read-now-symington-family-estates-1882-magazine-vol-2) put thi...

Thanks, Alex. Shame that the construction is still ongoing - something to look forward to for future trips, though.

Porto this weekend
I’ll be in Porto this weekend, and I’m looking forward to going to a few of the new(ish) places I’ve not yet tried (incl. The Rebello hotel’s bar/ restaurant and the same over at The Lodge Hotel). I was wondering if any of you have been to some of the other new (i.e. post 2020) attractions in Porto,...

Re: Is 30yo VP darker than it used to be?
Is 30-year-old Vintage Port darker than it used to be? At yesterday’s Vesuvio tasting , the early 1990s VPs were dark. As best I can recall, 1963s were definitely paler than that in the early 1990s, and near the turn of the millennium 1970s were definitely paler than that. This observation is not s...

A splendid evening, indeed! Thanks Martin for organising, and to everyone who attended for a fun evening. I’ll post my full notes later this week/early next.

Re: Quinta do Vesuvio in February 2024 - 6th Feb
I haven't had V05 in many years, but my experience with it says that a somewhat shorter decant should work fine. It's a somewhat softer Port than the '03 or '07 but still very delicious. I would probably decant it 4-6 hours, but as I recall you guys tend to use shorter decants in London than we do ...

Re: Quinta do Vesuvio in February 2024 - 6th Feb
Is there a specific decant time/method to be used for V05 - this tasting will be the first time I’ve tried it so I’d appreciate any thoughts from others who may have already tried some.

Re: LBV - The Young Turks
I’m afraid I’m also busy in the last week of April, so please could I be put onto the reserves in case I can get my hearings schedule thinned down.

I’m a fan of Charles’s approach (somewhat selfishly, because this approach ought to assist yours truly with the “sleep” part of the sleeper train to a greater extent than Alex’s! ).
