"Poor nose and very pleasant" does not seem to make too much sense.
Could the first word perhaps be good?

Found this, it's in Portuguese so will need to be translated.

I would like to attend if there's space.
I would need to adopt a bottle as have no suitable Fonseca.

Re: Mon 2nd March 2015, Boot & Flogger, with Henry Shotton
Thoroughly enjoyed it, even though I spent the majority of the evening totally flummoxed by the ports.
I have come to the conclusion (again) that I need to drink more. All in the name of research of course.

Re: One quiz at a time
My theory was the start and end of the 1st French Republic but can't see the link of drinking port to commemorate the end. Probably not my go either.

Doh, no century was specified for the '48 and '49.djewesbury wrote: I don't remember being so specific about the years.
Remember that something needs to link the two dates.

presumably 1848/49 are the relevant dates?

Re: One quiz at a time
Is the drinking of Champagne corresponding to an anniversary of an event that took place in France?
Similarly, is the port drinking for an event in Portugal?

Re: General query on maturity in half bottles
If we can approximate the surface area of the liquid to that of a cylinder (which we can only do if the bottle is stored upright) then the surface area calculation is:- Area=2πrh+2π r^2 Where r is the radius (to internal wall) of the cylinder and h is the height (of the liquid).
