Morgan 1963

Well it took me 12 years to organise my first tasting! Very helpful having the team food order and Julian doing the tasting sheets. The Boof and Flogger were excellent. We are very lucky to have found such a welcoming home for Port Forum tastings. Well to the tasting. Vesuvio is a magical Quinta and...

Worth holding off our results!
Some differences!

Have a great tasting! I will aim to post the results from the London tasting over the weekend. What I will say as it will not influence you is that the 2006 Magnum was rather good!

Can you please add RGO
Thanks

Thanks very much.
Alex will be there from around 2.30 so I think we are good. Agreed re timing being early- we may need to drink a bottle of port of the list prior to the tasting! You are most welcome to join us when free.

Pouring around 5 ish so works well.
Tasting sheets all done!

Thanks so much

Food order done if a little late due to email issue. I will endeavour to work out how to print off the tasting sheets at work. Port - got it. Need to buy some filter paper. Aim to be there for 3pm to start in decanting, can anyone let me know if they will be able to get there a bit earlier to help. ...

Ok no problem at all.
Hope to see you soon and thanks for getting back to me.

Hi
I need to do food orders, is everyone ok with their standard food order? I will assume that is the case if don’t hear by Sunday evening.

Thanks Axel

If there is a space for the new 70 theme would love to come.
These wines need testing!

Can I please go on the list for this tasting.
Seperately for such an important event , I think a theme of British shippers is more appropriate.

I agree with that Tom, there was a lot of Port coming to auction at the end of 2017, this really did not happen at the end of 2018. I was very disappointed how little became available.

Has anyone got the prices from around 2006? This is when my Port buying started to accelerate and I think is a more useful guide, that is also a year or so since the time this website started. The real increase in prices in the older ports is as they have become rarer and in my view the price of old...

Thanks for posting, pleased you had a great night

I am afraid I have to drop out due to work travel commitments.
I hope you have a wonderful evening

So what was it like? What ports did they show? Did you learn about the demarcated region?

World class tasting! Congratulations I am sure a huge amount of effort went into arranging it.
Will there be tasting notes available- very interested to hear how the 77 is!
Thanks for posting

If anyone has a spare ticket for the Thursday night can they please let me know
Thanks

Just reread this tasting note. I fear the Morgan 91 is the definition of a port drunk to young. As a group we must have had over a Pipe at one point, I fear we don’t have much left! I personally have 18 bottles left at an in bond cost of £6.19 per bottle. This is 7.5% of my original purchase. A larg...

Derek Thanks for arranging this tasting. A huge amount of work required to balence out all the contributions. A very good summary below! I am afraid my votes are on the sheets! It was good to see the 1967 doing well, this is a wine that is often available at auction at the present. Thanks for all th...
