This is 2005, rather than 2007, unfortunately.

Re: Tue 28th May?
Axel cannot make that date.. The Warre LBV issue seems to be far too political and above my pay grade, I couldn't possibly decide to do something of this magnitude when the NATO tasting in September is still on the cards (is it still on the cards?). DHT's wonderful suggestion of 'bring a bottle wrap...

Re: Tue 28th May?
There are indeed many possibilities. An SQVP theme? Bomfim vertical? But then you've just had a Dowathon. 1980 horizontal? I admit I'm intrigued by the Cálem. But then I'll do anything really. I have PMed Axel so we shall see what he says.

Re: Tue 28th May?
Themes proposed but not yet done, so needing a date, include Warre LBVs and Axel’s Cálem Vertical . Please do take charge. These both seem excellent ideas which are already fairly well-advanced in terms of sourcing the requisite materials. My first instinct is to say 'Cálem', just because they're V...

Bought two bottles of this at Weingalerie, Berlin.. I'd heard from a few places that this was a very good drinking port now, so decided to pop one last night to accompany a steak.. I wasn't sure about the best way to let this wine present itself so young, but followed the recommendations of Paul Sym...

Re: The Dirty Dozen - London, 23 April 2013
I like the idea of the proposed names for the first 12 ports, but find the last two less evocative. Instead of "mature port" and "immature port", how about "Saint Peter" and "Saint Paul", being the two patron saints of Rome and therefore linking your themes f...

1990 Graham Malvedos
Decanted 2 hours before drinking. Very dark, 70-80%, pink at the rim. On the first night this showed very little. Nose was tight and closed, a little harshness (is this VA? I don't know). On the palate it was immediately soft, very velvety in fact, but not particularly rich. I thought I noticed almo...
