70@45 in 2015?
I don't think we need much prodding to run that vintage as a horizontal - perhaps our '70 birth year boys would like to take the lead...?

Chris Doty's interest in a 70 tasting noted; but would like to mention that there were already 2 tastings in the last few years including a modest 35bt horicontal (all different ports) in the RAF club and and a second "best of 70s" vintage port tasting in Germany. Both tastings together leaked ~ 35bts out of of my already low stock of ~ 180bts of 1970VP now left . Some of them are very hard to get like SWC EB, Gould Campell, Quarles Harris, Calem, Niepoort Pota, Niepoort (normal bt), Taylor (Deinhard botteling perfectly cellared, Dolomares botteling) etc..AHB wrote:But isn't Chris back for Wimbledon?uncle tom wrote:70@45 in 2015?Can we do 1970 next time?

If SWC EB means Smith Woodhouse, English bottled, then I have a few very good Wine Society bottled btls.Some of them are very hard to get like SWC EB, Gould Campell, Quarles Harris, Calem, Niepoort Pota, Niepoort (normal bt)...
274 bottles now left - 26 shippers - could spare up to a dozen bottles for an event180bts of 1970VP now left
Yep this meant it; sounds good so that we a good base line for a tasting in 2015. With regards to Niepoort pota I have only 2 bts and I think 3-5 normal Niepoort 1970s but do not worry I know a person who has a few moreuncle tom wrote:If SWC EB means Smith Woodhouse, English bottled, then I have a few very good Wine Society bottled btls.Some of them are very hard to get like SWC EB, Gould Campell, Quarles Harris, Calem, Niepoort Pota, Niepoort (normal bt)...
Have plenty of Gould Campbell, but no Quarles Harris or Calem, and just one Niepoort pota.

A matrix tasting, rather than a horizontal.As we seem to be pondering ideas for horizontals, I will put forward the idea of an 80s Majors: 80, 83 and 85 for F, T, D, W, G. That would be 15 bottles covering big names and give a chance to re-evaluate which 80s juice merits purchase. I note from a previous tasting that the 83s were a little all over the place, so this would be a chance to reassess, and compare/contrast with 80 and 85.
Ah yes, good point, a matrix not a horiz.uncle tom wrote:A matrix tasting, rather than a horizontal.

Do you each mean in for the 80s Matrix, or the 70 horizontal, or both??CPR 1 wrote:I like the sound of that. I am in.
