Re: NEW DATE: Wed 14 Dec 2022 - Quevedo Closure Experiment

Hi,

quite honestly if the strike goes ahead I do not want to attend as it is quite some difficulty for me to organise alternative travel. Sorry but it would be just too much hassle given that I also need to work.

Re: Warre's Sesquarcentennial Tasting - Weds 6th Oct 2021 (date confirmed)

I’m at home with covid. Was meant to be in Portugal — extremely irritated. The NHS instructs that my “ last day of self-isolation is 2 October 2021 ”. If there are any immuno-vulnerable people attending this tasting, such that the 2nd–6th would be too tight for their needs, then I will withdraw. If...

Hi,

am now confused, can you please confirm I am part of the tasting? You last post and lack of any e-mail and message suggest otherwise.

2019 Niepoort

cask sample, purple blackish colour, tight rim and with an opaque centre, restrained fragrant nose after roses and violets. Very fine taste after cherries and a bit cranberries. Overall a fresh, slightly spicy, moreish fruit taste. The finish develops over time from initially very sweet and closed i...

Have no 08 but have Niepoort Colheita 12 which I think should qualify. At least for me this is the greatest Colheita I drank so far.

Got my hands on 3 bts today. ASDA kindly substituted the initial order quantity down. But they were very nice and all went smoothly at click&collect. JDAW1's assessment is correct. Not a great port but at 3.98£ you cannot go wrong. You notice the watery port apperance when it is running down the...
