Friday Dec 2nd 1970 VP revival
Posted: 09:20 Tue 06 Dec 2011
On Dec 2nd a smaller group of enthusiasts gathered in Leverkusen to re-try what we thought to be the best of the 1970 Vintage. Over the course of the evening the following shippers were tasted:
Martinez
Cockburn
Delaforce
Messias
Croft
Ferreira
Ramos Pinto
Offley
Sandeman
Kopke
Calem
Noval
Dow
Gould Campbell
Smith Woodhouse
Quarles Harris
Taylor from two different provenances
Noval Nacional
Warre
Niepoort (straight and potta bottle)
Fonseca
Graham
Sadly the Graham and the Gould Campbell were faulty and the Messias was much too light. The others showed extremely well. Dirk Niepoort kindly supported the Dinner with two Magnums Tiara 05 and Batuta 07.
Wine of the night: Taylor 70 (Dirks bottle), Fonseca and Warre, although most people were struggling to choose as they were lots of candidates for medals. VIPs present were (besides Dirk) Christian Seely and Joao Machete Perreira.
Overall fantastic event:
