Absoultely brilliant-talk about cocking a snook!

Am happy to consider a 24 he deferral but alas, the tube strike has counted me out for tomorrow night. Sorry!

Gentlemen, I'm struggling to join you tomorrow night on account of this confounded Tube strike.I need to get from Paddington to TBH and then on to Waterloo at the conclusion, but the service currently does not seem conducive to this. What is frusrating is that had this tasting been on Thursday I'd h...

As we've determined to go 'open' on this I'm going to chance bringing a QdN58-but given I have some reservations about the bottle, I may bring a G85 as back-up in addition.

Hugely enjoyable evening-so much so I stayed on a little too long meaning an expensive taxi ride home! The 66 is clearly still holding up well with barely a duffer in sight and though the 70 may now be superior I'm not sure there's too much in it. Phil has suggested a similar 'small' 70 horizontal w...

The F66 decanted at 7.00am today-thought that the cork would come out intact (which would be a first) but in two parts so not too bad (have brought the parts).

Drat, now checked and as I thought, my G70 is Opoto bottled. Do I now need to acquire or adopt?

Given how this tasting has mushroomed perhaps the word 'small' should be dropped from the title of this thread! Oh, and good spot Wolfgang, yes indeed,I did mean F66 ! Not to impact placemats but I'll probably bring that bottle of Sousa 66 colheita (bottled in 92) as well (to make'up for the fact th...

G94?

and in the blink of an eye we're off and running....put me down for this; I have some G70 but will need to check origin.

Looking at the threads JDAW linked to, a comparative bottler tasting never took place-is such a tasting now irretrievable?

Something to do with Led Zeppelin?

Does anyone have any comments or views about the comparative merits of (on 1970 and before) Uk v Oporto bottling or is it simply a question of how the bottle has been stored? I've acquired quite a few UK bottlings over the last year (the likes of Grants of St James, Charles Kinloch etc) and assuming...

I have managed to secure a place on the white Port tasting also and am on the waiting list for both the Colheita and Dirk's LBV tasting...but if anyone has a spares for either.... The catalogue looks good and as my first BFT, I'm certainly looking forward to it. Is anything happening afterwards-or i...

The F70 will arrive decanted (whhich I will have to undertake in the morning).

Weds 30 April is good for me.

I'm up for this-week nights are better for me.

Tom, congrats and I see you have the freehold, which is good in my book as I'm no particular fan of Greene King. What is equally as impressive is that this is cellar no. 4-oh to have more than a pantry in which to store my Port!

Please count me in if there's a space. Almost assuredly too young but in the interests of research.... Less in favour of a walk around approach and limiting to top 14-16 doesn't seem unreasonable.

Chapeau to Alex with regards to his experiment. I confess to not having ever seen a Tappit Hen bottle in the flesh although came close to securing a W77 in this format at auction last last year. Maybe JDAW can speak to the powers that be to ensure more releases in this format!

I have a T66 (Wine Society bottling) available for adoption if needs be.

You have my admiration (not to mention my envy!) at securing these lots!

This post is quite interesting as I bought a Souza 66 'Vintage Port' at auction the other day only of course to find out after I received it that it was indeed a colheita (bottled in 92). I have subsequently pointed out the auction house's misdirection to them (not heard back) but that's the rub whe...

Can you put me down for this please-and I believe that I have a replacement bottle of F66 for DRT's stolen one!

Agree with Daniel, it was as if a VP label had been put on a bottle of 30 or 40yr tawny. Disappointing. as this seems to be a difficult VP to get hold of and so I don't know when I'll have the opportunity to drink again.
