Re: 1970 Borges & Irmão
1970 Borges & Irmão: Dominic Symington said that this would have come from Quinta do Junco, which is now owned by Taylor-Fladgate. To taste good length, with melon, and light. ‟But great length”.

Re: 1970 Kopke
1970 Kopke: an edge darker than the other ♦s (they being Barros, Kopke, Robertson’s Rebello Valente and Royal Oporto). Nosing of dark fruits. Taste initially too acidic, then soft and pleasant fading slowly to sweetness. Second-placed in this flight.

Re: 1970 Barros
1970 Barros: nose ‟Light, nothing wrong, then passionfruit”. To taste ‟very acidic, and rougher than the Kopke”.

Re: 1970 Dalva
1970 Dalva : said by Dominic Symington to be the same wine as da Silva 1970 . But the nose was much lighter than the dS. The taste initially promised dark fruit, but then drowned in acid, thus rather resembling the González Byass 1970 . I propose renaming this in the TN index to ‟Dalva, aka Preside...

Re: 1970 da Silva
1970 da Silva: said by Dominic Symington to be the same wine as Dalva. Nosing of lovely dark fruit, and, perhaps, lychee. But to taste very minty unpleasantly so.
I propose renaming this in the TN index to ‟Dalva, aka Presidential, aka da Silva”. Thoughts?

Food: Lebanese works for me. Or a shopping list can be constructed and I will buy it that day.
There will be no partial bottles to take home. All will be drunk.

People are asked to be polite by not noticing the spelling error in the placemats. (They’ve been printed too late to repair.)

My thought about the ’94 is that the original purpose of this tasting was to drink my USA-located port.

Re: 1970 Horizontal, Jan 30st in London
OK, I need to research ‟shipper's tiers”. But scores (from multiple sources) were used to separate into sessions afternoon or evening.RonnieRoots wrote:I think I would either use the shipper's tiers as mentioned in Mayson's book, or use Michael Broadbent's scores.
But this division is very interesting as well.

Re: 1985 Fonseca
SushiNorth wanted to know what would happen to this port. It was left in the decanter, at room temperature, until today more than three weeks later. The TCA evaporated hurray. Then buy a bit more than a pound of very lean minced beef. For a few minutes sear in a frying pan, stirring. Meanwhile, in a...

Re: 1970 Horizontal, Jan 30st in London
With two sessions of 17 or 18 bottles, some sub-division into flights was needed. Even if only a modest proportion comes from the flagship vineyard, it isn’t such a bad flighting criterion.
Rephrased, how would you have have split into flights?
