Halfway+ through August, make Fred's life easy for September

Frederick allowed my suggestion to stand in August, so you guys get to choose the theme for September. Knowing that Fred will be in Portugal, I am trying to give him a hand here and see what you would suggest for next months VTR selection.

I had an idea for September, how about revisiting the 83 Vintage. It is a widely available and cheap VP that gives great pleasure!

Of course oder ideas are welcome, lets have a debate :type:

Fred,
I love the idea of an '83 tasting. I happen to have one '83 Gould Campbell in the cellar which needs to be sampled and was looking at the Graham's from that same year.

I concur with '83!

Todd,

Skip the Graham's and please do try the 1983 Gould Campbell. I just might have to do the same thing. It will be my last bottle (over labor day weekend) before cold turkey for nearly a month. Yikes.

Roy,

Thanks for the heads-up, although I have to be fair and warn you that I MAY ignore it in favour of trying to sample as many "older" VPs as possible.

Being that for every bottle of Graham's '83 I can afford to buy TWO '83 GCs, it is a no-brainer from a financial perspective, I will try the GC first and see if it lives up to your TN expectations.

Just checking to make sure the 1983 Vintage Port is what is on line for September?

I think, and hope, so. Perhaps Fred is not around at the moment and we should get this one started up? (I just came back from holidays myself and find a lot of catching up to do on the forum!)

I'll try and take part in this virtual tasting. I have a couple of 1983 ports that I had intended to keep for a while but can sacrifice one of these. Plus I'll also copy and paste my Cockburn '83 note into the thread since I was still drinking that on Saturday September 1.
