2000 Ramos Pinto
Tasted at the BFT on 20-Apr-23.
Fresh red fruits. A strong tannic grip for the age. Oscillating between fresh raspberries and violets dominance in an odd but pleasant way.

Tasted at the BFT on 20-Apr-23.
Lovely red fresh berry nose. Still quite a tannic monster. Great acidity. Nose follows wonderfully through to the mouth. Needs at least another 10years.

Red Berry nose - something a little more complex going on behind the scenes but cannot say what. Smooth and some really pleasant tannins. Fruit is not huge in the mouth but interesting territiary notes. Drinking very well now.

Tasted at the BFT on 20-Apr-23.
Fruit forward nose but that great Fonseca tobacco. Fruity and chocolate mouth but a little awkward perhaps.

NV Quinta das Lamelas 4 Geraçaões
Tasted at the BFT on 20-Apr-23.
Believe this is also marketed as NV Quinta das Lamelas 100YO.
Almost sauternes nose - pineapple. Sweet but so complex. Amazing acidity. A truly wonderful wine to experience and probably my highlight for the BFT.

Remarkably young and fresh for a 30YO on the nose. Honeyed almonds in the mouth. Really excellent.

Re: 1867 Royal Oporto Carvalhas Colheita (bottled 2023)
Nutty nose. Very sweet but decent acidity. A hint of fruit which is surprising! Bit spirity in the mouth, quite nutty.
A huge privilege to try so many thanks to the BFT team and RCV.

1993s @30 - Tue 10th October 2023
Being a 1993 vintage and given how highly we all speak of this year I'm not rich enough to spend a wallop on a sub-sub-par wine just because it's a rarity (looking at you, Liceiras 1993) 1993 F - I thought it strange people would ask for this tasting - but here we are anyways. Unfortunately there's ...
