Skeffington
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 you are sure that you have done all the relevant shippers beginning with F, then you were correct to move to a different letter.

I believe he already said that it wasn't Fonseca. You are pushing me toward saying Ferreira. I'm not going to do that though. I'll quite while I'm ahead.

But I seem not to know the answer, and I've run out not only of Fs but of non-British shippers generally.
Is your (my) question something to do with Graham's then?

Come on, Jewesbury, don't mutter - share it with the rest of the class. "Krohn" did you say? If you did you are not as close as Brad was.

If you were allowed to ask the answer would still be no. Think close to Andresen but not close to Krohn.

Even though you appear either (a) never to have written a TN of this bottle or (b) not yet to have drunk it (and knowing you a little, (a) seems more likely), I think I have an idea of what it might be.

I am not accepting this as a real question. JDAW told us what he was doing. He was giving rubbish answers to give Daniel more chances to guess.
