Re: Thursday 11th April - Decanting Experiment plus some drinkers
Might be able to make this. Tentatively yes please! Move me off if others are more sure.

I really don't think I'm going to make this so I'll drop out. Hopefully deals with the overbooking situation

Slightly less viscous than cough syrup but getting there and brown in the glass. Apricots and caramels. Beautiful.

1994 Croft
My first port in... Well months actually! Coravined from a bottle.
Lovely strawberry nose. Quite a strong and spirity in the mouth, fruit and molasses finish.
God I've missed Port!

Alex, would you mind posting what the top three wines are? I can't make it out from the image.
Sounds like a great evening was had!

Re: 1993 Barros LBV
Pencil lead nose, candied cherries coming through clearly on the nose. Still a bit fruity in the mouth and decent balance. Quite enjoyable!

Re: 1993 Cockburn LBV
Fruity nose but nothing in the palate. Quite harsh. Awkward and unbalanced.

Re: 1993 Quinta das Liceiras
Relatively muted - perhaps molasses nose. Tastes older than it is and generally quite muted. Past its best but still drinkable.

Re: Croft vertical, Tue 07 Nov 2023
I am unfortunately unable to attend this anymore.
My official stance is "absolutely gutted".
If anyone is able to supply the 94 in my absence that would be ideal. Otherwise, I'll find a way to get it to the event.

Re: Tue 10th October - 1993s @ 30
Curious, indeed. Some day I hope to get to taste a 1993 Quinta das Liceiras! Was the order of tasting as listed in the first post? That might have impacted the perception of some of the wines. The placemats were naively arranged. We all started with the white and reds which we presumed to be the mo...

As George described it, a "curious" tasting. WOTN =Calem 30YO 2nd =1993 Royal Tokaji Mézes Mály Aszú (50cl) 3rd = 1993 Barros LBV The 93 ruby ports are certainly feeling a bit tired but still drinkable. The Barros was the clear standout here still with a bit of fruit hanging on in there. T...
