Re: Port at Vinum Fine Wines

This seems pretty good value especially compared to the 2020 Warre and Graham on the other thread (similar volumes as well).

Costco has the TV2013 in store at £23.98 a bottle, which seems pretty good to me (it’s slightly more expensive on-line.

Nope - bottles.
Oof.
Yes, very punchy indeed and based on a recent tasting, the Warre might prove the better value in the long term.

Re: Emergency, Tue 26 April 2022

Apologies for the late notification but I will have to withdraw from this tasting; as I have thankfully remembered in time that it's my wedding anniversary and that it might be a little imprudent to attend a Port tasting on this evening!
