Harvey's 1983

Post by Philip Harvey »

The Wine Society in the UK are listing Harvey's 1983 vintage port (bottled by Martinez Gassiot). This isn't a name we see that often and I'm curious to know if anyone has any experience with this name?

Scroll down and you'll see I asked just that question a few weeks ago and there seemed little knowledge of it.

(Don't worry about missing it, I've had to have others remind me of my OWN postings on subjects I've brought up again :oops: )

I may try one at Xmas and see how it goes. The Wine Soc's port range is lamentable. (However, as they have a rule of only selling stuff they have bought, direct from the producers I suppose they can't hoover up the auction stocks like many of the other retailers do)

Doooh! Thanks Stuart. As you say, may be worth ordering a couple in a mixed case for curiosity value.
