The book has a chapter Vintage Reviews, in which I wrote, p601,

1991s are junior to the 1992s. Insufficiently tasted to say more.

In 2019 George organised an excellent tasting of 1991s, after which any opinion was less uninformed.

We need a 1992 horizontal, and the chosen date is Tuesday 12^th May 2020.

What 1992s do likely attendees have? I have none, so need to adopt. Others might be in the same position. Please list which 1992s you’d be willing to make available.

Hi Tom,

Happy the SWC 92 to be opened on this occasion. If we ever come round to try the 91 along side I should find another bt. Otherwise I am fairly light on 92s. Not sur but some Bonfim and Niepoort come to mind.

Regards
WS1

Mike is the fourteenth. Likely as not a small number of reserves would get promoted, so a reserve list has been started.

Please could those who haven’t post lists of bottles.

Frustrating but add me to the reserve list please.

Post by **Alex Bridgeman** » 19:52 Sun 15 Dec 2019

Easily on hand I have: Canais and Vesuvio

In storage and therefore I'd prefer not to contribute are the following: Bomfim and Eira Velha

It’s not impossible that a fourth or later reserve would be promoted, so the reserve list will be allowed to grow further. But it is not probable: further reserves should not decline a hot date for that evening.

winesecretary · Post by **winesecretary** » 13:00 Tue 17 Dec 2019

I have, while stocking up on something else, spotted at the same source and acquired a bottle of Churchill Agua Alta 1992; which is now additionally proffered for this tasting.

nac · Post by **nac** » 13:30 Tue 17 Dec 2019

In the unlikely event that I make it off the reserve list, the only 1992 I have is Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo.

I am just touching base with you in regards to your provisional Port Forum booking on for the 12th of May.

Can I just confirm whether this is going ahead and whether you will be pre ordering?

JDAW wrote:Hello Kate.

Yes yes, the 1992 horizontal on Tue 12 May is very much keenly anticipated.

We always pre-order if there are more than a few of us. But it feels rather early, perhaps even very early, to be pre-ordering 104 days in advance. When do you want us to pre-order?

Kate wrote:Thank you for confirming the 12th of May. I’ve just returned to the reservations role and I seem to have a lot of provisional Port Forum bookings, so I’m trying to establish which ones are going ahead.

There is of course no need to pre order now. 2 weeks in advance will suffice.

As remarked elsewhere, this is likely to be cancelled. By which I mean postponed — I still want it to happen, even if less soon than intended.

As a result of a fortuitously-priced recent auction, I have now also acquired Fonseca.

Should this be rescheduled and become an attendee, now also have Niepoort.

Doggett · Post by **Doggett** » 18:29 Wed 24 Feb 2021

Would this be better next year some time and another tasting replacing it for this year?

Post by **PhilW** » 19:37 Wed 24 Feb 2021

Agree that next year would be the obvious time for a '92 tasting - not that we couldn't have more than one ofc, but I suspect we will have quite a few others we might also like to have this year if we are able.

Post by **jdaw1** » 22:41 Wed 24 Feb 2021

This needs to be rescheduled. Any objection to Wednesday 06 April 2022?

(Easter will be Sunday 17 April 2022.)

Post by **Alex Bridgeman** » 23:25 Wed 24 Feb 2021

Works for me - although I don’t think I still have the bottle I offered…

and the BFT will be 31 Mar 2022.

Sounds sensible; but since I couldn't make the original date, I'm not on the list; reserve please.

winesecretary · Post by **winesecretary** » 12:09 Thu 25 Feb 2021

Works for me. I still have all four of the wines I have proffered.

Post by **Alex Bridgeman** » 20:30 Thu 25 Feb 2021

A quick check of the wine cabinet reveals that I have an untouched bottle of Canais 1992. It now has a big label on it saying "NOT TO BE OPENED UNTIL APRIL 2022"

Done.

There were two industry guests. The one I had invited hadn’t replied, so has been ejected. The one AHB invited is now the Industry Guest. Meaning that MPM has been promoted from the reserves to become an attendee.
