Just three of us, CPR, THRA and JDAW, met in the Green Room of The Boot & Flogger for a tasting with the theme ‘Blind with a clue’.

Links:

• Review of the evening as a whole;
• 1960 Dow (THRA);
• 1977 Smith Woodhouse (JDAW);
• 1985 Dow (CPR1);
• 2011 Niepoort Crusted (from 2007 and 2008 crops) (CPR2);
• Placemats (and parameters by which made);
• Planning and arrangements.

SW77. Dark red, 75% opaque. Dark plum-like fruits, perfectly balanced. Fuller than mid-weight, but not a giant. An all-round fine Port.

The clue I gave was that it was my most recent purchase of Port, and from the forum. CPR recalled and mentioned the SW77, then guessed T85. Tom guessed F85, and I agree that it is less evolved and bigger than a typical ’77.
