1991 Niepoort
Enjoyed at £18/glass at The White Swan, Fence 11/04/24.
Dark red. Fairly mild red fruity nose although a strong spirity hit. Blackcurrants on the palate with a hot mouth feel. Not a terribly finessed Port but certainly more than drinkable.

Re: The Port Forum Babies and their Vintages
Didn't realise this was a thing - many thanks for the kind message Alex. Very pleased to annouce the birth of my twins, Otilia and Sasha. Both babies are doing very well and mum has recovered brilliantly. If you're wondering why I have been cancelling all my tasting appearances, you now know.

Re: Port for sale by retailer
I got Pocas 2016 for less than £25 a bottle and Niepoort 2019 LBV for £15 (also an Amex offer with waitrose which can be combined)Alex Bridgeman wrote: ↑22:09 Sat 30 Mar 2024 Waitrose is having their “buy 6 bottles and get 25% off” sale.
So I’ve just bought my summer supply of Kopke 10YO White and Kopke 2010 White Colheita.

Might be able to make this. Tentatively yes please! Move me off if others are more sure.

Slightly less viscous than cough syrup but getting there and brown in the glass. Apricots and caramels. Beautiful.

1994 Croft
My first port in... Well months actually! Coravined from a bottle.
Lovely strawberry nose. Quite a strong and spirity in the mouth, fruit and molasses finish.
God I've missed Port!

Alex, would you mind posting what the top three wines are? I can't make it out from the image.

Pencil lead nose, candied cherries coming through clearly on the nose. Still a bit fruity in the mouth and decent balance. Quite enjoyable!

Fruity nose but nothing in the palate. Quite harsh. Awkward and unbalanced.

Re: 1993 Quinta das Liceiras
Relatively muted - perhaps molasses nose. Tastes older than it is and generally quite muted. Past its best but still drinkable.

Re: Croft vertical, Tue 07 Nov 2023
I am unfortunately unable to attend this anymore.
My official stance is "absolutely gutted".
If anyone is able to supply the 94 in my absence that would be ideal. Otherwise, I'll find a way to get it to the event.

Re: Tue 10th October - 1993s @ 30
Curious, indeed. Some day I hope to get to taste a 1993 Quinta das Liceiras! Was the order of tasting as listed in the first post? That might have impacted the perception of some of the wines. The placemats were naively arranged. We all started with the white and reds which we presumed to be the mo...
