Re: LBV - The Young Turks
I’m afraid I’m also busy in the last week of April, so please could I be put onto the reserves in case I can get my hearings schedule thinned down. Hi Tom, I’m listed as attending this but had asked to be put on the reserve list when the date changed. At the moment, I can’t make the new date so if ...

Re: 50 Year Old Tawnies (and potential friends) - 2023 (or later)
DR has both (50 White and 50 Tawny). These I happen to have on hand, so here's photographic evidence for you. 2024-05-04 08.37.10.jpg Thank you, Glenn. My research into 50 yo tawnies was sidelined during my brief trip to Porto a couple of weeks ago. It’d be interesting to see if you come across any!

Re: 1882 Magazine from Symington Family Estates
The link Mike posted is to the edition which came out in 2022. I don’t think there’s a third edition out yet. I wonder why it took a while for this edition to be made available electronically - SFE’s blog (https://www.symington.com/post/read-now-symington-family-estates-1882-magazine-vol-2) put thi...

Porto this weekend
I’ll be in Porto this weekend, and I’m looking forward to going to a few of the new(ish) places I’ve not yet tried (incl. The Rebello hotel’s bar/ restaurant and the same over at The Lodge Hotel). I was wondering if any of you have been to some of the other new (i.e. post 2020) attractions in Porto,...

Re: Is 30yo VP darker than it used to be?
Is 30-year-old Vintage Port darker than it used to be? At yesterday’s Vesuvio tasting , the early 1990s VPs were dark. As best I can recall, 1963s were definitely paler than that in the early 1990s, and near the turn of the millennium 1970s were definitely paler than that. This observation is not s...

Re: Quinta do Vesuvio in February 2024 - 6th Feb
I haven't had V05 in many years, but my experience with it says that a somewhat shorter decant should work fine. It's a somewhat softer Port than the '03 or '07 but still very delicious. I would probably decant it 4-6 hours, but as I recall you guys tend to use shorter decants in London than we do ...

Re: Quinta do Vesuvio in February 2024 - 6th Feb
Is there a specific decant time/method to be used for V05 - this tasting will be the first time I’ve tried it so I’d appreciate any thoughts from others who may have already tried some.
