Re: Time for a TN sort?
I too prefer the current approach. One TN per bottle (ideally).

Re: A Visit to Quinta do Noval

I tasted this just before bottling...and then proceeded to buy 6 of them. Have very high hopes for this one, it'll probably age beautifully.

September is hard for an industry guest, I would venture. I less the tasting is held in the Douro!

1980 Warre
Audouzed for about 12 hours, then decanted for 6. Bricking around the edges, still fairly dark at its core. A bit of dark fruit on the nose, which is dominated by cherries, with a hint of spice. Really attractive. Tannins still present, but not overly so. Heat barely noticeable, quite fruity, in a j...

Those prices don't make any sense! £70 for a bottle of 2016 LBV and £85 for a 20yo, but 'only' £98 for a 40yo?!

Re: Barão de Vilar Cheaper DOCs
Although I am not quite clear if they also own the Barros and Van Zeller brands, themselves. Barros is owned by Sogevinus, and Cristiano van Zeller (not of Barão de Vilar) owns the Van Zeller brand (along with his daughter, I think). As for the wines you mention, I've actually never tried either of...

Re: Taking a 1963 port to a restaurant?
Every time I've brought (Late Bottled) Vintage Port to a restaurant I've gone with #3. That way I retain control of the entire process (plus it saves me a trip to the restaurant in the case of #1).
