1995 tasting - Tuesday 13 January 2026 (B&F) New Date

[winesecretary]

Strong preference for 13 January

[Alex Bridgeman]

I also slightly prefer 13th Jan.

[Alex Bridgeman]

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).

13th and 20th Jan both work for me.

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

[Bertie3000]

In the meantime this is an impressive tasting……34 x 1995 ports.

Am ok for 13 January.

[winesecretary]

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

[Bertie3000]

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.

Great Minds Think Alike----Fools Seldom Differ!

This Saturday, November 15th, 8 of us will gather in New Jersey, USA to taste ten 1995 Ports (we have 22 and likely will do the balance at another time). Our line up includes:

Cockburn Quinta dos Canais
Delaforce Quinta Da Corte
Ferreira
Fonseca Guimaraens
Graham's Malvedos
Quinta do Crasto
Quinta do Vesuvio
Smith Woodhouse Madalena
Taylor Quinta de Vargellas
Quinta do Infantado

Plan on serving blind---but all will know the line-up.

I attended a 1995 tasting in 2015---curious to see how ones tasted then stack up (WOTN that time was the Malvedos with Ferreira a close 2nd). On balance this is a very fine year; fortuitous it came on the heels of 1994 as there are some awesome SQVPs here and usually at a very good price.

Thank you, Julian, for doing our placemats.
