I'm sure you are right that most if not all us couldn't tell which one is which when multiples are served
I'm cautiously confident that I could call most of them right, but I wouldn't bet on a 100% score!
- Could be a fun offline..

Yes, that is why I mentioned it. It is something you and your Port friends can do at one of the upcoming, The Crusting Pipe meetings.

Tom is frustratingly accurate at these games, when all around are scoring very low...!

That would be a fun guessing game.

Here is a teaser...I've tasted the Niepoort Crusted, bottled in 2009 side by side with the 2007 bottling. The 2007 is a solid Port but the 2009 was a big step up. Don't think it's released yet, but I would recommend buying the 2009 bottling...crazy good for a non-VP.

Too bad finding it in the USA, (given the importer's motivation) will be next to impossible.

Very doubtful.
