I also slightly prefer 13th Jan.
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!

If it's a date I can make, I can offer Quinta do Crasto, Quinta do Noval, Petre's Port (from Niepoort - but I'll need some notice to get them out of storage), Quinta do Vesuvio or Warre (4 year bottling).

I have requested the B&F move this date to Tuesday 13 January. I will update the title etc once this is hopefully confirmed.

With apologies, I am now unlikely to be able to make this date so please move me to reserves.

Sorry to hear that George. I know you bought a bottle for this tasting. If you wanted, I am happy to buy this off of you.
