Confirmed.

WS1

dark tawnyish color. Very complex in nose and taste. Very long finish but most impressive of this port is its variable flavors and nuances. A little bit balsamic in texture with honey and lots of spices. Brilliant port!

WS1

black brown color, excellent balance of sweetness, acidity, taste and finish. Taste after figs and nuts and lingers for very long on the palate. Fantastic port which was for me only marginally behind the 1863, 1896 and 1882.

WS1

dark tawnyish color. Still very dark! Dark dried fruits, rasiny taste. Copy of Alex note of star anise and golden syrup. Compared to the other ports tasted that evening a bit flat. Still an excellent port but lacks a bit complexity and panache in the context.

WS1

Fantastic Colheita with immense complexity. On tasting these amazing ports this had for me the best complexity. Color was blackish brown and you could detect a small rim. Lucious very long aftertaste and perfect balance of sweetness and acidity. Taste after honey and yellow fruits with a little bit ...

WS1

For me this 1863 Colheita was the star of the evening. On the already perfect and extremely concentrated 1896 this was another level up in concentration, sweetness and boldness. I could barely detect a rim and it had as well this blackish color with brown reflexes. Despite being nearly 40 years olde...

WS1

wonderful port that reminded me of vintage port despite it being a Colheita. Massively sweet for its age and the concentration is extreme. Very thin rim if at all. Color is blackish with minor brown reflexes. Flavors I detected a bit of dark cherry, elderberry and figs. Sirupy in texture and the fin...

Opened my bt 7:00AM today. Will decant around 15:00.

Hi,

quite honestly if the strike goes ahead I do not want to attend as it is quite some difficulty for me to organise alternative travel. Sorry but it would be just too much hassle given that I also need to work.

I’m at home with covid. Was meant to be in Portugal — extremely irritated. The NHS instructs that my “ last day of self-isolation is 2 October 2021 ”. If there are any immuno-vulnerable people attending this tasting, such that the 2nd–6th would be too tight for their needs, then I will withdraw. If...

Neil,

thanks! Great! Just sent you a mail directly. The e-mails on the TPF system seem not to work.

Hi,

am now confused, can you please confirm I am part of the tasting? You last post and lack of any e-mail and message suggest otherwise.

Hi,

sorry for being quiet about this tasting, but I was a month off touring the continent.

Now back in Blighty I am happy to confirm my attendance with a Warre 1958. Looking fwd seeing you guys again!

cask sample, purple blackish colour, tight rim and with an opaque centre, restrained fragrant nose after roses and violets. Very fine taste after cherries and a bit cranberries. Overall a fresh, slightly spicy, moreish fruit taste. The finish develops over time from initially very sweet and closed i...

WS1

Have no 08 but have Niepoort Colheita 12 which I think should qualify. At least for me this is the greatest Colheita I drank so far.

Dude! stop being so pessimistic! In 2051 I would be 81 and I admit given my current weight and lifestyle It is looks unlikely I would make it. But I still signed up! Not sure if you watched a series called "All creatures great and small" so far but when Siegfried and James signed up for WI...

Got my hands on 3 bts today. ASDA kindly substituted the initial order quantity down. But they were very nice and all went smoothly at click&collect. JDAW1's assessment is correct. Not a great port but at 3.98£ you cannot go wrong. You notice the watery port apperance when it is running down the...

@winesecretary - good choice on Niepoort 2017! However as JDAW1 has not done it yet; you need to consider having a double magnum section section in your cellar as well. For this format and bigger formats there is also a need e.g. if you are having a disastrous week or friends like JDAW1 popping by f...

Hmm in my view GC77 is a fantastic port if not TCA contaminated. Some say GC77 share the same base juice as SWC77. SWC77 is not TCA infested though. The statistics of the tasting notes for GC77 do not lie. However the TCA problem can be easily avoided by focussing on GC77 Magnums which are not TCA a...
