This came in 7th subdued still good but overshadowed

On par with a bottle I opened fairly recently 6th

5th best still very good no sign of waning

4th best for me good stuff

Joint third with the Grahams both top class

Joint third with the Dows superb

This was beaten into second by a nose (not mine or it would have been well beaten)I think that this port has more legs than the NN and woulg give it 8-9 onTom's scale.

This came top for me forgetting about price drinking superbly start to finish.On Tom's scale 8and ahalf 8.

What a great evening and what a selection thanks to Derek,Julian and Alex plus Conky as official photomatic man and all the rest for a tasting spectacular.If I had noticed the date for the toon army tasting I could have stayed another night.I'm sure I saw a tear in John's eye as he got overly emotio...

I've tasted that very sauternes and it is a good one.I must admit on the wine front I dislike overly oaked wines.

PS I've never seen anybody divide steaks like Alan but he's a great cook though

I'm looking forward to monday I just hope the missus realises that all my port is money well spent.

I enjoyed the tasting immensley and meeting Conky I was a bit knackered from work which put the dampners on it a bit for me but I thought the Gonzales a bit rough around the edges but it had a bit more to it than the Noval which was pretty pedestrian.The Croft was ok but not great Derek thought VA a...

Bought from a merchant 18 months ago.

I received a final demand for port I won from an auction house in europe (which I never knew I'd been the winning bidder).The oldest and youngest are garrafeiras the other bottle is vintage assumed date as it is stencilled on the bottle unknown shipper all good levels.The oldest bottle will probably...
