75@40
Re: 75@40
If there is room, I would like to come along for the 75@40 tasting in December at the wonderful Boot.
I would need to adopt a bottle for this tasting if there is room for another and someone could kindly help me with a bottle from the vintage? hope to see you there...

SCD added to first post and to placemats.
As ownership of bottles is concentrated amongst only a few of us (several people having none), it likely that we’ll share costs rather than adopt individual bottles.

Re: 75@40
Looking at the bottle line up there is a noticeable gap which seems rather elusive..
Does anyone have a Sandeman '75 in their cellar??

Re: 75@40
Hi Tom,
If no one has the S75 then I have seen them listed here. It is claimed they are shipped straight from the Sandeman cellars. I would be happy to purchase as my contribution if that would help? I am not sure what the opinion of this supplier is, so any thoughts appreciated.

Have you tried wine-searcher.com?
Re: 75@40

Re: 75@40
I looked at wine-searcher initially and didn't see any Sa75, but now see MWH has some at a tolerable price - will contact..

Re: 75@40
I don't have any magnums of '75 but now they're popping up..
What do people think? Shall we go for mags wherever possible, so we all get several well filled glasses?

Re: 75@40
There is a danger that mags will distort the result of this tasting. I thought the purpose was to determine whether or not 1975 VP has turned a corner and become worth buying. Mags are likely to have evolved in a different way to the standard bottles that are generally available. Do we still have the same objective or has this turned into something else?

Re: 75@40
Personally, I'd be happy to taste a G75 or D75 Mg alongside the standard* format to ascertain the difference in evolution between the two and if we're after the inclusion of S75 and haven't got the standard* format then there seems no harm in including the S75 Mg.
*by 'standard' I of course mean everyone else's standard and not JDAW's!

My standard 1975 is none at all, which we agree would be wrong at this tasting.idj123 wrote:*by 'standard' I of course mean everyone else's standard and not JDAW's!

The most experiences of 1975 port I have is for Cockburns since I had a sixpack. The one I like most so far is Niepoort.jdaw1 wrote:My standard 1975 is none at all, which we agree would be wrong at this tasting.idj123 wrote:*by 'standard' I of course mean everyone else's standard and not JDAW's!

Re: 75@40
I would like to see the Mags alongside with the regular wine as this would very much again show the difference and tell us how a normal bottle was some 10-15 years ago. My Mags were recently bought directly from the Symington cellar, so fairly good provenance.
@Tom: let me know when and where to send them or to bring them to the 85 horizontal

Re: 75@40
Looking at the volume of port per capita, and not wanting wastage, I'm thinking that with the addition of a QH (bottle) and Sa (Mag) to my original list, the addition of one mag vs bottle comparison would bring us to saturation point, - or would people rather pig out..??

It is 1975 - lots of it can be sent to the kitchen if not wanted.uncle tom wrote:Looking at the volume of port per capita, and not wanting wastage, I'm thinking that with the addition of a QH (bottle) and Sa (Mag) to my original list, the addition of one mag vs bottle comparison would bring us to saturation point, - or would people rather pig out..??

Re: 75@40
I am now uncertain as to whether I can attend. I will update soon but it is looking more unlikely than likely.
