In gathering information about a new Port name little seen this side of the Atlantic — Broadbent — a tasting was kindly offered. And accepted. One bottle of each of Bb00, Bb03, Bb07, Bb11 and Bb15 are to be sent to me.

When?

Bart Broadbent is a friend. Dirk makes the ports for him. I assume he’s branching out with it to new markets. If you need info I can put you in touch with Bart.

I have a bottle of the Bb94 I would happily contribute to the line up (assuming I have a place at the table, of course). I'll need a little notice as it's stored offsite.

We have a Broadbent 1997 that we may contribute with if there is room for us at the table and if the date is suitable for us. Sten, Stefan & Jorgen

Dates permitting, we might be joined by Bartholomew Broadbent himself.

I have proposed a course of his Ports, and then a course of something older from our cellars.

If there’s space I’d like to attend. As this will be my first TPF vertical, please get in touch to let me know if I need to do anything particular in advance.

Thanks,

We all had a first — it’s good.

Anything particular? Attend, not smelling of perfume nor of smoke.

What are your initials, and are you right-handed?

Axel P · Post by **Axel P** » 08:05 Sat 20 Oct 2018

Yes, please

Post by **jdaw1** » 09:07 Sat 20 Oct 2018

Which makes our full quota of fourteen. A reserve list has been started.

My initials are MC, I am right-handed, and I’ll leave the perfume off.

Do you have any guidance to give as to the theme for the second course? Should we all bring an extra bottle (and so consume 21 bottles between us)? Should we choose a partner and negotiate with said partner what we bring between the two of us? Are we to be given free rein under the theme of "...older Ports from our cellars."?

Whatever the answer, I am available for absent blind guessing.

Perhaps one bottle between two people would be sensible.

As for a more specific theme, it’s not obviously necessary. But if you want one, sure, suggest one.

Bartholomew Broadbent has ceased to be available on this date. Further details to follow.

Yes. BB emailed me on Friday.

Axel P · Post by **Axel P** » 16:47 Thu 14 Mar 2019

Wont work for me, but due to this post I have everything from Braodbent except 2000.

It might be worthwile to have those against the Niepoorts from the same age...

Best

Post by **Alex Bridgeman** » 13:47 Fri 15 Mar 2019

Please could the organiser update the top page with the attendees who now can / can't make the new date and provide instructions on what Ports should be brought by attendees?

We need some mature Port, say one bottle between two. How should this be arranged?

I will come back re what Broadbent Ports we need.

We have 2000; 2003; 2007; 2011; 2015. BB might supply some others.

Post by **Alex Bridgeman** » 10:29 Tue 26 Mar 2019

I have just taken my bottle of 1994 out of storage for use at this tasting.

Post by **jdaw1** » 23:26 Fri 29 Mar 2019

Please could those willing to bring something older — me, F85 — report same in this thread.

Post by **Alex Bridgeman** » 21:09 Sat 30 Mar 2019

I'm sure I could be persuaded to bring something else as well as the BB94, probably from the '80s.

Post by **jdaw1** » 16:56 Sun 31 Mar 2019

BB himself might supply a Bb94 — awaiting instructions. And yes please.

Suggest you do these alongside with the Niepoorts from the same year...

Post by **jdaw1** » 17:23 Sat 06 Apr 2019

I believe that I have a Ni11 to hand. Added.

What older Ports are others bringing?

Post by **PhilW** » 17:29 Sat 06 Apr 2019

I set aside a W91 for this after discussion at our last tasting, though work is currently threatening to get in the way. Will confirm later.
