I have Churchill 91, Agua Alta 95 and Gricha 05 (and the Club 09). As per the de la Rosa tasting might be able to do some samples.

If you were able and willing, that would be wonderful.

Prefer DrB for clearer differentiation from Dow Bonfim.

Thanks for the warning. If you are happy to reply privately by PM to let me know what the other two sites are (once you've changed your passwords on them of course) I'll see whether I can identify which was breached, if it is long enough ago to determine.

Mine will probably be Ch82

Yes please

IVDP for their policy on

Sounds good to me, yes please also.

I decided to open an unknown. I've tonged the top off the bottle and now it's Audouzing gently in the cellar. I'll push the cork out this evening. Following Alex's initiative, I decided to follow his example as I have an unknown "believed 63" with destroyed (black) capsule and unreadable label (tho...

Hi Guys, could the participants of this tasting with some experience of the wines tell me how the 85 and 70 were from the smaller bottles? Hi Axel, I did also wonder how the wines - particularly the '70 - would hold up to being decanted at least 48hrs ahead; I needn't have worried. The G70 (which I...

I'm in.

Confirmed.

Many thanks also to both Alex for organising, and for Neil for arranging and sharing some ports for this tasting - much appreciated, thank you both.

My opinion is that the need for an abbreviation should arise from the winemaker’s intention to make a distinction between winemaking philosophies. Thus the winemaker clearly intends Croft Vintage Port to be viewed as distinct and different from Croft Quinta da Roeda Vintage Port; or Fonseca to be v...

Mrs W. has a pro Zoom.

She does, but how did you know that?! Oh, you mean your wife...

Hi Brian; could you give us an idea of your rough location? Also it would be helpful to know the level of the wine in the bottle (i.e. with bottles stood upright, is the level of the wine above or below the join of the main bottle body and the neck, and by roughly how much. Cheers (and welcome to TP...

Thanks for the heads-up Simon, I will be up for it (and post-zoom zoom if others are too)

as a child she had

I'd love another 6 bottles please if you have enough to spare. No rush at all.

My notes indicate that when I was at the Yeatman in 2011 the price for a 50ml pour of Scion was EUR 100. In 2015 it was still available in the Taylor's lodge next to the Yeatman, I *think* for the same price, possibly slightly more. And while we're on the topic, you can currently buy a glass of the...

Sounds good.

The price is EUR 350, for one of the 350 bottles released to celebrate the 350th anniversary of Warre.

I think there may be a pattern to this!

Nope. Can’t see it.

Apparently you have to read their press release 350 times to reveal it.

I agree it's definitely your image, cropped. It hasn't come from the VPID because it's still in my (long overdue) update, so it can only have come from TPF assuming you didn't post it anywhere else. I don't know who/how images are loaded onto/by wine-searcher. I suspect someone who owns a bottle or ...

No details yet for QdlR on the 14th? They might be cutting it fine to have time to sell "tickets" and ensure the wines are delivered in time unless they start soon...

I find the Durand to work extremely well on (generally older) fragile corks where identification is not an issue. For unknowns I prefer to use tongs where possible, otherwise using other corkscrews rather than pushing in, since the external face of the cork is not always clean.
