Recently perusing cellar and spotted a couple of bottles of QH78LBV. So, wondered if a tasting of LBVs with some decent bottle age might be a good theme? If so, happy to organise - unless someone else fancies doing this?

Good theme, definitely interested. Pity I opened my only Vieira se Souza 1981 LBV last week.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

Just updated the planner.

JDAW's postponed "A Disagreement or Controversy or Misunderstanding" is still listed as Feb 2023. Assume this won't be?

After the PC etc tasting tonight, the only other confirmed in-person tastings in 2023 are the Decanting Experiment on 28/2 and Cavadinha on 28/3.

Have just updated and tidied the events planner.

Anything missing?

There are a few 2023 TBC events that I'm assuming won't happen. Unless anybody objects I'll push these into 2024.

I would be up for organising a 2003 tasting in say early November 2024.

That’s a topic I’d be interested in, especially if it was a 2000 vs 2003 comparative.

However, my diary is a bit challenging over the next couple of months, until we reach the week between Christmas and New Year.

A question raised elsewhere, that probably needs asking here...

Should we be thinking about a 1945 @ 80 tasting next year?
Do we have sufficient bottles?
Would it be prohibitively expensive?
Full event for 14 or smaller event?

If we want to do this then I'm happy to organise.
