Maybe some background info for the 1970 Avery Port from the company: I have only found the "possible" blends for the 60, 63 and 66 I can almost say they are correct but every so often there is a note saying - also added... - there are some hints at the 70 but not a "full" recipe ...

Axel P

My Ports should arrive with Julian tomorrow.

Much looking forward to seeing all of you there.

Should you be in Lisbon on Saturday, please join me on my O-PORT-UNIDADE presentation at: https://grandesescolhas.com/nobre-gosto/programa/

Axel P

Sorry, something came up and I cannot make it. Soooo great memories to the 55@55 tasting 15 years ago.

I wish you all a fantastic tasting and will open a 55 close to you as well.

Best wishes

It is already a tradition that I lecture two Port tastings at the end of the two main days at ProWein: ProWein.jpg So if you are participating, do not miss to taste some very nice Vintage Ports (Sunday) and Tawny Ports (Monday) in Hall 4, C60.

Excellent, happy to motivate people to re-fresh their German

Thank you all for having me there and providing all the bottles.

Thanks

A great article on a subject that I have only recently become interested in. While I have given up buying young VP’s I’m still picking up the single Quintas to keep me company as I get older (and wiser, hopefully).

Thanks, Alex

I just received info (from Fladgate) that they bottled 139.600 bottles (10.600 cases of 12) for Taylor 1994 and 110.400 bottles (9.200 cases of 12) of Fonseca 1994 Knowing that houses are sometimes shy to reveal these numbers, I think it might be of interest to everyone. So if you have confirmed num...

Axel P

Let me know if you decide to increase the table to 12

Axel P

So few left on the planet, Simon and very expensive. I think I would rather buy three Taylors 70 instead

Thanks, Phil

Please put Ralph and me on the list. Thank you

foreign participants not wanted?

Thanks Martin. I confirm.

The only request I would have is to put this tasting closer to the bft if possible to enable visiting both when flying over.

Thanks

Now info from the new event: www.o-port-unidade.com

Can we slowly start planning the tasting, ie set times and bottles? Some might have to plan for travels?

Thanks

Dear Glenn, in your next live you need to live in Europe. The Symingtons did this in Amsterdam this April, when they released the ST 21.

Have fun with this. Great wines and the 16 is over and the 15 underrated in my view.

After the fantastic years 2011, 2015, 2016 and 2017 Grahams Stone Terraces 2021 is only the fifth edition of this limited edition Vintage Port (the Symingtons call it micro-terroir). Although more expensive than 2017 at arrival, I am sure that the 4.800 bottles and 280 Tappit Hens will find a home r...

I can liaise you to the swedish guys, Glen. They might be able to locate this. I have tasted this in DK some years ago. A delightful Port, but at the very end of its drinking plateau.

Dear Portlovers, after a rather delicious Vintage Port and a fantastic Colheita (still in the pipa) from 2013, I am thrilled to announce the second edition of the O-PORT-UNIDADE project. The aim is to bottle another joint Vintage Port from 2023 with most of the best producers in the Douro valley wit...
