Damn - I’m afraid I cannot reconfirm. Hopefully a reservist can make it (if not, I’ll send a bottle down).

Please may I order the following:

Main - rare steak, green beans and shallots & béarnaise sauce.
Many thanks.

Re: Non Festive Drinking
The Hawks' Club Claret, JP Moueix 2016. Dark purple/crimson rim, and very dark purple in the glass. Aroma very savoury - almost mushroom like, followed by strawberries and vanilla. More strawberries on the palate, with oak and a little spice. Very little in the way of tannins, and whilst a reasonabl...

Re: Radio carbon dating of TWAIOA
Whiskey's minimum age is probably better, though even then don't you run into potential problems when adding neutral spirit to get it within the legal limits? It depends on the relevant regulations associated with the product in question. For instance, I’m a huge fan of the unambiguous provisions a...

Re: Ground has been broken
Ground has been broken. As attentive readers of these pages might already know, the book Port Vintages was self-published in 2018. There have been requests, here and elsewhere, for more copies to be available, ideally in the form of a second edition incorporating the additional information that has...

Re: Port for sale by retailer
Sandeman 20 y/o = £30.39 per bottle when ordered from Amazon via a “subscribe and save”, which seems like a good deal. The subscription can be cancelled upon receipt of the first order.

My thanks to George for organising this tasting, and to the TPFers in attendance for making the tasting so enjoyable. My thanks also to the two TPFers who donated bottles, even though they could not attend, and to the excellent staff at the B&F. My summary was that many of the Ports were much mo...

Re: Calem Quinta da Foz
One of the ‘redder’ wines of the tasting – nice and clear rim. Nose muted at first, though I found it opened up nicely as the evening progressed (red fruits, lessening heat). By the end of the night, this was a particularly agreeable wine, if a little straightforward on the way down.

Re: 1980 Niepoort
Light/mid red. I thought that the nose on this one stayed quite muted throughout the evening (and was perhaps a little vegetal, too). On the palate this wine improved throughout the tasting, and I thought that a redcurrant frangipane grip built markedly towards the end.
