Tempting to say obviously it was… but I was still looking at number patterns and was not close to getting the answer, unlike you.

Re: One quiz at a time
akzy has it! I am in a way quite proud that it took the heavy-duty minds here a year to sequence that one.
We could of course alter the dataset retrospectively by clubbing together to buy the expensive and probably disappointing vintages featured in the sequence...
... but that is a tasting for another day.

Quite proud that I've been referred to as a 'heavy-duty' mind. Given that I've had a recent puzzle, happy to relinquish the puzzle setting to someone else.winesecretary wrote: ↑23:58 Wed 12 May 2021 akzy has it!

Tonight I am drinking the oldest bottle-aged Port I’ve had since the penultimate weekend of January. What 30%-opaque red-brown SQVP is it?

Graham’s Malvedos 1958
Re: One quiz at a time
Not Graham. Vintage wrong by more than a decade.
Still has fair balance, but thinning. Maraschino cherry, sweetness, not much complexity, medium-light weight, good length. Needs drinking. It might be sufficiently unusual that I should save one or two for TPFers. (Indeed, no TPF tasting notes for a while.)

São Luiz 1970
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

Not Kopke. Vintage wrong by more than a decade.
The house (of the single quinta) has a chapter in the book.
Re: One quiz at a time
As you had a 1960 on the 2/2/22 it must be pre 1948 then.
Leading me to guess Fonseca Guimaraens 1942, but that is not so rare and enjoyed at 67PM not so long ago. It is my guess despite it most likely being wrong.

Re: One quiz at a time
I had a ’34 on Thu 20th Jan. On Sat 22nd Jan a splendid ’55. Vintage wrong by more than a third of a century. And the guessed name, “Fonseca Guimaraens”, isn’t a SQVP.
(Did I have a Berry Bros Selection ’60 on 2nd Feb? If so, oops. Sorry. Forgot that. Younger than nine of that evening.)

Re: One quiz at a time
It's the 1988 Dow Bomfim.
Re: One quiz at a time
Correct year; not Dow.
With more time in the decanter it has become more acidic. There is still the cherry sweetness, but it has become more balanced and structured. Maybe, tomorrow, we could know — but we won’t.

That is not in the spirit of this game, nor indeed, of this forum more generally. Please reconsider.
You guessed immediately previously, so you may not guess until another has done so. You must hope that the next guesser is merciful.
Re: One quiz at a time
It can only be Warre Cavadinha 1988.

Or perhaps Fonseca Guimaraens 1988, albeit not a SQVP.
