Well, I was born in 1984, and even though I'm from a Port producing family, I'm sure I wasn't drinking it *that* early!

What?

Ah, I'm away this weekend, what a shame.

No, never.
I must say I find the label quite interesting.

Got 6 x 1992 Warre Otima Colheita, directly from SFE. Bottled in 2022.
Immediately opened one. This is a very good colheita. At €23 per bottle (50cL) it turned out to be a bit of a bargain.

Heck of a deal.

Thank you!

If you're attending the BFT, I'll take some cloth! Already ran out, so this is as good a place as any.

Excellent read, and such a brilliant line-up.

Well, that's bloody true.

Anyway, Alex is out, but I'm still in!

I’m not usually good company that close to the BFT. It gets pretty all-consuming for the week when it’s on.

Sorry.

More than reasonable, it's a big event!

Good god.

I'm having a hard time imagining what a revolting tosta mista even looks/tastes like.
But yes, avoid Terreiro do Paço/Praça do Comércio (except for sightseeing).

Bumping this as I should be going to Lisbon end of April.

I sent them to Alex via WhatsApp (forgot I said I'd post them here), but I can retrieve them and post here if it's useful to more people.

Can confirm!

Alas, I can't make this gathering, I'm only in London from Sun 21st until Wed 24th.

Well, that was pretty clear, wasn't it?

Such a beautiful Port. One of the best I've ever had the pleasure of tasting.

Wow!

Not in the bible? Outrageous.

Just checked. There's a 1957 Graham's Malvedos, but not a general Graham's. 3rd edition needed!

You can't make a mistake in this place!

I've seen it often enough (saw it just yesterday, when opening a Fonseca Panascal 2004). It's not really an issue, as long as the mould doesn't extend to the *inside* of the cork. It's a good idea to clean it, though, as, when pouring, the wine might come into contact with mould that might be presen...

Excellent!
