You can’t guess. And not a Fonseca SQVP.

Oh, I've got it! Smith Woodhouse Madalena 1988
You still can’t guess. But good use of the clues:

You still can’t guess. And the book lacks evidence of a Kopke Roriz 1888. Have you proper evidence, or are you guessing?

Almost, but not quite.

The KR1888 is the only one I have had that was 30% opaque, the others being 25-28%.
Is it Cruz 1988?

You made the most recent valid guess — WC88 — so still can’t guess.

You guessed immediately previously, so you may not guess until another has done so. You must hope that the next guesser is merciful.
Despite the illegal guess, it goes to MigSU. MigSU’s question.

Well, I was thinking it must have been either the F85 or W85 being the bottles being opened for the '85 horizontal, and that it was so bad that a different bottle was subsequently decanted after the duffer. However, if W85 is wrong, I absolutely refuse to believe it could have been an F85 (denial is not just a river in Egypt) and will go for my most-experienced-bacterial-vp of D63 for my next guess.

Seizing ancient powers; Julian still to let us know the answer to his question if possible sometime, but the guesses have gone unanswered for long enough, so a new question:
What have I recently bought, that I don't really need? (that I don't really need)

Nope. (I've bought very little port this year to date, primarily for reasons mentioned at the last tasting; neither relate to the answer to this question).

No (to both - though I like Simon's broad thinking!). The answer is not unrelated to port.

Very close... it is indeed a corkscrew, but not another Durand (but good reasoning for the guess), so which corkscrew have I bought?

I got it. "The answer is not unrelated to port", small P, so it's not Port wine but a port. So you bought yet another boat.

Ok, an additional clue: Let's see - when I remove a cork using this, I wouldn't be surprised to find it breaks up into eight pieces.

- Don't forget the clue. Don't forget the clue.
- Let's see - when I remove a cork using this, I wouldn't be surprised to find it breaks up into eight pieces.
Additional new clue:
- Perhaps surprisingly, it's not from Norway.

It would be more likely to be an Arr-so, Arr-so, perhaps...
