2005 at 21 Tasting - Tuesday 3 November?

Post by winesecretary »

2005 is probably best described as a minor vintage but a recent TTF gave considerable pleasure. The purpose therefore of this is thread is to assess interest in a ‘2005 at 21’ tasting in the autumn. Possibly Tuesday 3 November?

I think I have TV as well as TTF, and probably a few others -I’ll have a rummage around the cellar next weekend.

GEAG - TV, TTF
MCoulson - DLR
CPR1 - Qv

I would have been interested, but regret I cannot make 3rd November.
Top 2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!

2026: DR Very Old White, Graham Stone Terraces 2011, Quevedo Branco 1986 b.2026

I might have Vargellas and/or Madalena. Need to check.

Anyway, yes please.

Edit: checked, and stock is merely 1 × SWM05, 1 × TV05, 1 × Qv05, 2 × WC05. All are at your command.

I like the 2005s a lot. They may not have the same longevity as some others years, and seem to be earlier marketing, but also seem to be lovely. Probably time I opened a case. So, yes please. ChG, Ni, TTF, Q
(all currently unopened cases in storage, so would need notice please)
