I do know Andre very well. He is a great guy and a fantastic promoter for Portuguese wines.

However we should have invited him more to Portforum tastings as this would have changed his list quite a bit, I blieve.

Happy new year to all

Anyway happy to be back in England for tonight's tasting as my German WLAN would have not been able to cope as still the old telephone line from ~80 years ago

but this is because your house is 80 years old and you have spent all your money on Port

Guten Rutsch

Dear Sten, Stefan and Jorgen. Wow, this is a great achievement. I have managed to drink something from 1970 every week and had a champagne sunday every second week, where we had many surprises (just between 4 persons and 2 bottles of champange every time - at least vintage champange). The best thing...

I also try to join...

Thanks, everyone. My first link actually got me to teams. Thats why it took me some time to figure out the correct link, but Alex was very helpful as usual. You can see the "Portbeer" here. The one in the middle is actually a blend of German Hefeweizen and Martha's Ruby Port, whereas the two others ...

Unfortunately I am too silly to join. Teams is working good in GER, but the link does not. Wish you all a great christmas.

Thank you for the excellent feedback, gentlemen. "See" you tomorrow.

Yes, please. Much looking foward to seeing you there...

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?

Thanks in advance
Axel

No idea

I’d also be interested to hear from someone who is responsible for a more tawny-centric house. Like the chaps who are running Quinta do Mourão but I don’t think I’ve met any of them. I am currently in line organising something with them. If successful, I will certainly let you know. All best Axel

Thank you Alex for organising.

Great to see you all again. Miss you. Stay safe.

Much looking forward to our next glas together.

I received my La Rosa parcel this morning...

Popped the corc at 10, will decant the 2011 now.

Much looking forward to seeing you all tonight. Will be a tough wine of the night choice

I think Sophia would be impressed by the lineup we are having in total. Time to get over Covid and have a proper glass of everything in good company.

Thanks, much appreciated

I have a vast range of Sophia's Ports, but think that I will retaste 2011 as no one else does.

Maybe I will "coravin" a glass of 94 afterwards.

Arrived today... so did this:

Great topic. Had a telefone chat with Ana Rosas today and she also could not explain why there is no 66 RP. It was a tough time for the company, they had to sell certain Quintas and focussed on Tawnies.


Very sad

Would like to taste this, too, dear Alex. Could you pick up a bottle or two for me?

Thanks

Axel

As they often store the bottles without the label, the newly released bottles might differ a bit. Happened to the 85s. There are differnt versions.

I was at a Port fare in 2007 when Croft launched the Pink Port and everyone thought "what is next?". Sparkling Port was a hot candidate at this time. From a business point of view it is vital to swipe the bad dust off the Port's image - make it more female and younger, but keep the good dust, all th...

Today I would very much like to toast to a very special producer and also raise my glass to one of the distinguished personalities in this company, who unfortunately just passed away: James Symington. My deepest condolences to the family. There are very few producers who are able to guarantee such a...
