Yes please.
What is meant by a Fonseca SQVP?

Fonseca Quinta do Panascal, which has been released at least a dozen known times since 1984 and possibly more?

Re: 2021 Virtual Tasting #3 - Thursday 11th February
A gentleman would never exclude Fonseca Guimaraens.
Re: 2021 Virtual Tasting #3 - Thursday 11th February
Would suggest that Vargellas, Terra Feita, Panascal and Guimaraens are all acceptable.
Re: 2021 Virtual Tasting #3 - Thursday 11th February
Think I’m going to go with Vargellas 1991.

Possibly Panascal 2001 in half, but may not be able to resist the siren call of the Vargellas 91. It's so lovely at the moment with a decent decant.
Re: 2021 Virtual Tasting #3 - Thursday 11th February
I'll go with Guimaraens '86.
Re: 2021 Virtual Tasting #3 - Thursday 11th February
I have in the house TV04 and TV05. Trying to resist choosing both.
Re: 2021 Virtual Tasting #3 - Thursday 11th February
I carefully only offered a correct option so as to avoid needing to imply anything about Guimaraens. I endeavor to be a gentleman.
Sadly I have only one appropriate option in my cellar, which is dear and reserved for a future anniversary (which should also give it away), so I will have to make do with a double imposter. Likely a 1990 Graham's Malvedos Centenary Edition, if I can find it.

If you want the most significant of the two years, 04... the year you met. The wedding was just a confirmation, a public confirmation of a relationship that was already there from 04. So 04 is much more important or significant. Also, if there was no meeting in 04 then most likely there would have been no wedding in 05.
Re: 2021 Virtual Tasting #3 - Thursday 11th February
I thought I'd responded to this but it looks like I haven't. Yes please, I will have to see what the "oldest" SQVP I have is, possibly late 90s but more likely 05.

yes please - I might not be able to stay too long but look forward to seeing you all on Thursday
Re: 2021 Virtual Tasting #3 - Thursday 11th February
Have updated list of attendees. Hopefully Mr Meehan can do his Zoom magic?
Re: 2021 Virtual Tasting #3 - Thursday 11th February
Gentlemen, given the youth of my selection (2005), would it be a good idea to decant 24 hours in advance of the tasting?
