Mourão, and it's 60 years old

So that would be a no, because Mourão is Quinta do Mourão.PhilW wrote:from Quinta da ....
10 Years Old, Quinta da Romaneira? (Do they even make whites?)

Re: One quiz at a time
An excellent guess, and perhaps a good memory since the current releases of white Mourãos are I believe the 50yr and the 90yr; I do indeed have a bottle of the Mourão 60yr white, however that is not the bottle I have opened (and now mostly consumed).
Not 60yr.
Not Mourão.

Gaivosa 10yr old?

Re: One quiz at a time
Not 20yr.
Not Revolta.
Yes, it is 30yr
Not Kopke (guessed previously, and not a "Quinta da").
(Not a half-bottle - though it's not a 70/75cl either...)

Re: One quiz at a time
Winner
It is/was indeed the 30yr old white from Quinta da Devesa; I couldn't help but notice the proximity to both Casa Santa Eufemia and Quinta do Mourao; perhaps a small golden White triangle around there (no, I couldn't tell from looking where Dalva grow/obtain the grapes used in their Golden Whites; I wonder whether it is anywhere close? anyone with answers, please let us know).

Drats!
In which case, from the tastings by tpf in the last year (and data available), what was special about the tasting on Monday 7th October 2019?
Re: One quiz at a time
No points for guesses (apart from the Monkey)?

Hmmm. No.
First clue: This mathematical question shall require will and determination to solve.
Only Tuesday 28th January 2020 and Thursday 13th July 2019 are other non-trivial solution to this during the last year.

Re: RE: Re: One quiz at a time
The determinant of the matrix for the scores on the evening mentioned in the question is 50, whereas the determinants of the other two evenings' scores are both -6. I'm not sure if this helps.akzy wrote:First clue: This mathematical question shall require will and determination to solve.

Guess: the determinant of the scores matrix for the evening was even?
