I've checked my records. I still have 1963, 1977, 1985 and 1997.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

And I still can’t attend and I am still willing to provide an ‘83 if anyone wants to adopt it. Maybe they can provide me with an ‘85 assuming I will make it over for that tasting.

First posed has been updated with reconfirm actions. Can those still to do so please action. Currently, in terms of bottles, we are missing: 55, 60 (although there is one upcoming at auction that I am hoping to secure), 83 (see above post), 91 (was available to buy at reasonable cost from BBR-not checked recently) and 00.

Had a quick check, BBR don't appear to have the 1991 available.

Ian - I'm putting together my drinking list for 2022 to move bottles I want to open next from storage to home, or from the back of the storage cabinet to the front. Have you planned which wines you would like which people to provide for our tasting at Berry's? If you can let me know what you'd like me to supply, I can make sure I have it on hand when it's needed (for the moment I will plan on providing the 1963 and offering the 1997 for someone else to adopt). Thanks.

From the front page the summary is:
1960 -
1963 - AHB, CPR
1966 - PW
1970 - TC
1975 - NAC
1977 - AHB, CPR, GEAG
1980 - CPR
1983 - PW
1985 - AHB, CPR
1991 -
1994 - hadge
1997 - AHB (magnum)
2000 - AHB (half)
2003 -
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

Any updates on reconfirmations and if this is happening… Boris allowing of course. I am only a reserve at the moment but have an exam in London the next evening and need to look at Travel plans etc. so any updates on the event status would be appreciated.

OK, apologies for the radio silence but I have this week received confirmation that this tasting is still on with details as per my previous post. This means a cost of £20 per head for which, besides the surroundings, we will receive some BBR wine plus some food akin to what is served at the Port Walks (so cheese primarily). We will thus need to think about decampIng elsewhere afterwards if we wish to supper (suggestions/comments invited). Start time will be 6pm for 6.30 pm and so an expected finishing time of no later than 8.30 pm.

I will allocate bottles shortly and would then ask that those needing to adopt contact those with the requisite bottles directly. I would hope to try and avoid too much in the way of reapportioning bottle costs but if needs be so be it.

If we have a reasonable idea of numbers then I could try and get a table across the road at 67 Pall Mall in the Lounge. Alternatively we can wing it and just go upstairs (not bookable).

Potentially there’s Davy’s at St James’s just round the corner.

I'm unlikely to make a dinner afterwards as it looks like Nuala might be away that week and my mother is not one for late nights babysitting!
