Re: Advice please Gentlemen

two recorded centuries when there has been no signficant declaration with a year ending in a 9, and that makes the odds of no '9' years come out at something less than 1000:1 Assuming a constant declaration frequency of one-in-four, the probability that there is a digit such that, over two particul...

Re: Advice please Gentlemen

the total exclusion of '9' years - try working out the probability of that happening by chance Let’s assume that each year has a one-in-four chance of being declared, all years identically independently distributed. Then the probability that, during some particular century, no 9s are declared is (3...

Re: The Factory House: postal address

OK. I’ll use
  • Feitoria Inglesa
    Rue do Infante Dom Henrique
    Oporto
    Portugal
and that should suffice. Thanks for the street.

The good ones have little nose and are very light, but delicious with a soft mouthfeel. Some are rough.

Re: Encoding Issues

Maybe nicely asking Chief Admin to upgrade from 3.0.0 to 3.0.2 will fix it. Maybe.

Re: 1991 Croft

1991 Croft: full red, no brown. Smell odd, but nice: stewed rhubarb. Mid-palate roughness. Fades, then returns, to produce late heat. A vegetal something throughout the nose and palate.

Re: 1977 Croft

1977 Croft: Brick red. Very soft, a little heat, extremely long. Later I though nosing of meat beef. ‟Tastes of port”, I wrote. Utterly lovely.

Re: 1994 Taylor

1994 Taylor: purple-black, nosing of plums and stewed fruit. Hot mid-palate. Fades, then re-appears, to good length. Needs time. With chewing showed very big tannins, and showed them earlier than the F94.

Re: 1985 Taylor

1985 Taylor: Lighter than the F85, being red rather than black. Initial attack shows much heat, then a big long length. Very very long. very strong mint aftertaste.

Re: 1977 Taylor

1977 Taylor: mostly red, almost brick-red. Mint or eucalyptus in nose. Much hotter than the Croft 1977, and bigger, though not as long. I prefer the Croft 1977.

Re: 1994 Fonseca

1994 Fonseca : purple black. A little heat mid-palate (less than the T94), very long and consistently-flavoured during that length. Needs so much time. very tannic. Very big wine indeed. Great wine, which might be ready in my lifetime. Interesting that the lodge tastes from US-labelled bottles (Kob...

Re: 1985 Fonseca

1985 Fonseca : just like Fonseca 1985. Purple red, nose and taste of stewed young plums, and just too young. Huge. Wait! Interesting that the lodge tastes from US-labelled bottles (Kobrand Corporation). So instead look at this picture of twenty-seven Imperials (six litres, eight-bottle bottles) of ...

Re: 1970 Fonseca

There is a God. And even if there isn’t, he is still merciful.

1970 Fonseca: Reddy brown. To taste my notes seem to have omitted the nose incredibly long. Mature beautiful port. I have had bigger F70s, but never longer. SLT said ‟elegant”. Older-tasting than the F70 at the F-plan.
