Re: Taylor's Terra Feita Vertical, Wednesday 2 November 2022, B&F
I will likewise need to adopt btw, if I didn't say so previously (the only TTF/TV I have to hand is TV69).
Re: Taylor's Terra Feita Vertical, Wednesday 2 November 2022, B&F
Have enquired via C&B about availabilty of the TTF2019, and it has been confirmed that it isn't going to be released until much later. The Taylor's press release suggests 2029/2030 - https://www.taylor.pt/en/news/taylors-t ... tage-ports.
As a follow-up to the enquiry they've offered some TTF2005 at £110/6 in bond (which works out something like £25/bt all in - comparable to Majestic who are currently knocking it out at £30). If this is of interest to anyone let me know and I'll forward the details.

Having cogitated, might I suggest we add in TV 87, 91, 95, 01? I have 91 but not the others.

@ nac - great, please bring it for adoption
Re: Taylor's Terra Feita Vertical, Wednesday 2 November 2022, B&F
Will do. I'll leave it for you to determine the adoptee.

I regret that despite my best efforts to be able to attend, I am going to have to drop out of this tasting. My diary is getting a little congested over the rest of this year and something has to give.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

@ AHB - I am sorry you cannot make it, but agree that one must husband one's social energies
@ rich_n - you're in if you want it. I think I have the TTF 1986 for you to adopt, I'll check this weekend

From first post:
Charles has previously offered:winesecretary wrote: ↑22:00 Wed 15 Apr 2020 ...
I have added in a request for some TVs. I have TV1991 and nac has TV2001. The TV1987 and TV1995 would be appreciated if anyone has them.
...
Perhaps I could adopt the TV1995 from Charles?

Yes - no problem that worksPhilW wrote: ↑09:39 Fri 07 Oct 2022 From first post:Charles has previously offered:winesecretary wrote: ↑22:00 Wed 15 Apr 2020 ...

Charles, Phil - thank you for picking up on that.
Re: Taylor's Terra Feita Vertical, Wednesday 2 November 2022, B&F
@GEAG - I think it might be difficult to find the TV87. There was only a single confirmed sighting for the TV vertical next year, and I suspect it might be being held back for that tasting. How about the 2005 instead? That’s readily available.

A&M have half a dozen TV87 listed at £78/bt inc, depending how keen you are on that specific wine.

What Ho. Good spot Phil, thank you. I have asked Richard B to sell them to me. Simon, if/when I get them, happy to release one to you. I am quite keen on that specific wine for comparison at this tasting.
Re: Taylor's Terra Feita Vertical, Wednesday 2 November 2022, B&F
I’d take one as well if available.winesecretary wrote: ↑09:14 Sun 09 Oct 2022 What Ho. Good spot Phil, thank you. I have asked Richard B to sell them to me. Simon, if/when I get them, happy to release one to you. I am quite keen on that specific wine for comparison at this tasting.
Re: Taylor's Terra Feita Vertical, Wednesday 2 November 2022, B&F
I also notice that ND John in Swansea has the TV 2008 and so if we wish to undertake a further comparison, I’m due to be in Swansea in a couple of weeks time and so could pick one up then if required?

@idj123 - thank you, but TV87 events having supervened we are likely to be 15 bottles and that is as much as one really needs
Re: Taylor's Terra Feita Vertical, Wednesday 2 November 2022, B&F

Re: Taylor's Terra Feita Vertical, Wednesday 2 November 2022, B&F
Could I please suggest aiming for an early, or at least a prompt, start?
As there is currently another train strike planned for the following day, staying over after the tasting is no longer practicable, and I and perhaps others will therefore have to leave early to ensure we can get home before the strike begins at midnight.

Re: Taylor's Terra Feita Vertical, Wednesday 2 November 2022, B&F
I am still intending to come to this tasting but as Phil suggests I will be leaving early (before 9pm) to catch my last train from Waterloo which is at 21.30 as I can’t get back the following day due to the strike. I may also skip dinner as a result.
