NY : March 17th ACPT: A full decade of Taylors

[DRT]

I meant that if a couple of Brits show up, including Derek, then we might need more than our usual one bottle per person.

A least one person got it, Glenn - one of my favourite movie lines of all time

It's hard to figure out what that means, or whether or not you are confused. Perhaps this helps?

I believe the correct answer is...

Yes.

and I meant Yes, please DO ship DRT to NY. Please don't ship T70 or T63 just yet, as there's a high probability I'll have them for us in short order. More soon.

ps, i do have T77, 80, and 85, but they seem well beyond the range of our tasting Perhaps we should instead look to a 63, like D63 which showed so nicely last year, or Co63 (though I thought we might do a Cockburn Vertical on a different occasion).

Finally, I recall being asked at the #PortDay Virtual tasting about a Hooper63 in my cellar. Could someone remind me who was asking?

[g-man]

was Andy I believe.

So, i think there are also a 61 and a 64 of the taylors floating around

so if we wanted a true 60s tasting

we'd only be missing the
60, 61, 64

we have the 63, 65,66,67,68,69

[g-man]

All the wines ordered and they're being shipped out tonight

Confirmed, the T63 was acquired last night at auction
Now, according to someone's definition, the 60's actually go from 61-70... maybe we just need to get a 70 from WC.

[Glenn E.]

I have a "spare" T70 that I can ship to one of you guys if we want it.

I'd love to get to try a TV64... I have one but am saving it for a future birthday. Possibly my 55th. VPs from 1964 are hard to find so I have to ration mine very carefully.

Perhaps we can find some overseas assistance for these hard-to-find Taylors?

That is obviously an American definition.

In the UK, the traditional home of Port, a "60's vertical" goes from 1912 to 2009.

The (19)60s run from 1960 to 1969. The 197th decade is 1961-1970. Just in case there is any confusion about which decade we intend to celebrate, we should include both 1960 and 1970.

As I was reading this thread, a reply was forming in my mind. Only to find that others were there long before me:

I've seen Vargellas 1961 and 1964, but never 1962.

Nice line up - I look forward to hearing about the 1968 and 1969 Vargellas, neither of which are ports that I have ever tried.

[Glenn E.]

I look forward to hearing about the 1968 and 1969 Vargellas, neither of which are ports that I have ever tried.

I, too, look forward to those two bottles. And also the 1965, as that is my wife's... no wait, scratch that, my wife is only 29. I have no idea what I was thinking.

I looked far and wide for a Port from 1969 three years ago to give a friend for his 40th birthday, but could find nothing. So I settled on a 1967 Vargellas reasoning that at least it was bottled in 1969 and so still fit the theme.

Naturally, the bottle I acquired for him was the (rather fabulous) 1970 Oporto bottling. At least it made for a good story!

I've had the 68 too at harry's and it's amber colored but incredibly smooth after the initial heat blows off.

btw,

what are recommended decant times for these?

the 67 was a pop and pour which i thougth was good
68 was popped and decanted for an hour before we drank and that was fantastic. (i think sushi had this with me since it was on my bday)

if the house doesn't have the name of fonseca in it,

the answer should always be yes =)

Well no, not really. Jeff's carefully phrased response side-stepped the questionable offer of an older Talyor in the hopes that, upon review of the first post, an older Taylor might arrive instead.

But along those lines, didn't Josh just acquire a T63? I have a T70 that I can ship (if we do it soon) so that Josh can supply the T63.

i dind't want to presume for josh if he'd be so generous

but yea, we do have bottles for adoption now.

You've no idea -- i've been hunting the T63osaur for a while now, it being the first truly great port I had (thanks jdaw -- it was at the anniversary tasting (la sirene), and first time i met you guys). I finally acquired two at auction, so it's a little sad to be popping it so soon. But why get em if we don't drink em, right? I haven't seen them yet, but I hope to pick them up this weekend.

Given that it's a rather pricey bottle, perhaps someone wants to bring something a little on the lower end and we'll split the difference?
