We’ll be there.

morteno: please start a tasting-note thread for each of the ports, and post individual pictures there. That way in years to come if I want to know about one of these ports it’s all there and easily accessible. Thanks.

OK: the ‟¿GEE’s + 1?” has been deleted in the post starting this page.

Alex has reminded me that I noted most of the decanting times. 1895 (alleged) just before sampling; 1908 at 12:40; 1912 at 13:50; 1927 at 13:30; 1935 (both halves) just before sampling; 1947 at 13:05; 1950 at 13:30; 1955 at 13:20; 1960 at 13:50; 1967 at 13:10; 1970 at 10:50; 1975 at 08:00 by DRT; 19...
