Back to practical organising - please could the following people let me know what (if any) 1994 VPs they could offer for the tasting:
  • JDAW
  • MPM
  • ZDR
I'm afraid I will have to pull out of this tasting.

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!

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...
