Re: "Port Edition" Durand coming soon - and UK purchase possibility
Any chance these are still available Phil? Or a one off? The Port Version was a limited run manufactured in autumn 2023; I don't know whether they have plans to produce any more. I've been very happy with it; it's only a small amount longer on the worm, though quite a bit longer on the tines, and h...

Re: 2003 Horizontal - Tue 18 March 2025
like to adopt that please. Let’s await instruction from our master about adoption versus £ rebalancing. Four posts up: Atopters and adoptees to agree on adoption in the usual way. Am happy either way (adopt/£) or indeed there is plenty of time before the tasting for me to purchase also if preferred.

I think it would be interesting to have the Secundum alongside the vintage, so if Julian is willing I'd like to adopt that please.

Re: 2024: Undisturbed & Other 1970s - Tues 8th October
An enjoyable tasting, though we did have more faulty bottles than expected; the Wine Society did not do well on this occasion. The W70 Wine Society bottle (which I brought) was full of TCA; it was the last bottle from a batch of three of which the other two had been excellent, and indeed the batch w...

Re: Latest buy
Avery 1970 is understood to be a blend of 2:1 Sandeman:Fonseca blend, with a small amount of Taylor (roughly 0.1by ratio).
Sounds like a bargain price, nice purchase.

Re: 1982 Churchill
"Do not put more in mouth"?
Always sad to see when a bottle of what should be delicious juice has to take the drain journey. I hope it's a lone damaged bottle, not part of a case with common issue.

But you could do a VPID search.Glenn E. wrote:Winesearcher has greyed-out vintages going back to 1919 for Fonseca Guimaraens, but without being able to see pictures associated with those listings I suspect that some (all?) of them are actually just Guimaraens and not Fonseca Guimaraens.

Re: Port brand abbreviations
I really don’t like using Gu or Gi for Guimaraens wines. We don’t use FGu of FGi, we use FG for the second label from Fonseca. Therefore I’m voting / lobbying for FGC or - if we have to - FCz. But we do use Ct for Quinta da Corte, vs DfC for Delaforce Quinta da Corte (since the latter was establish...

Prefer Gu to Gi, but prepared to be out voted (and accepting others' dislike for Gm), agreeing with consequent GuC/GiC.

Re: Port brand abbreviations
There are several vintages of Guimaraens-branded Vintage Port (1931, 42, 44, 52, 58) which have no mention of Fonseca on their label, and thus should perhaps have their own abbreviation, such as Gm (rather than FG which has typically been used previously). If that were adopted, then the 1982 Guimara...
