(I'm taking dictation from hubby, Mr Wiseman.) He comments: "Opaque plum-red, very bright hue. Nose has spearmint, not regular mint, and plums. The spearmint very strong. Some heat in the mouth, more of the spearmint. Good sweetness. Medium weight. Length good, but not great. And that's all I h...

Last port tasting for the early afternoon (I'm already getting a buzz). This 1985 Dow freshly decanted (Husband says it's for drinking tomorrow evening, not for later on this evening. Important to mention since you'd all reprimand him for making such a tragic mistake!): Nose, slight leathery scent, ...

A good wife has many duties for her husband: I'm sure most of you can name a few. Sometimes these duties are cumbersome, tedious, and plain exhausting. ;-) One of these many important duties is helping her husband taste freshly decanted port, and is also one that brings me (and the hubby) pleasure. ...

This Taylor 1980, freshly decanted: nose is cotton candy and tart strawberries. taste butterscotch and caramel and cherry. color is a beautiful bright, passionate, blood red - kind of like one of my favorite nail polish colors.

OK, my darling and caring husband asked me if I wanted some port for later this afternoon. So he picked out, for whatever random reason, a 1985 Martinez. Here are my thoughts on this just after decanting: Nose: grapes and raspberries. Tongue/Mouth: Caramel, slightly nutty, dark cherry, vanilla Sligh...

No female alter-ego necessary for my bare-chested, sword-in-sheath hero!

Surely Julian wouldn't do such a thing!

Glenn, you must be American (me too). Pancakes with boysenberry syrup anyone?

My wife’s opinion is surely that the heroic husband is better than a lifetime of ice cream. Isn’t that right dear. You boys like to play a dangerous game. DRT hiking up the stakes! Hmmmm, yes, the question at hand. Well, yes, I do love a huge bowl of scrumptious ice cream. But, let me tell you a st...

Ok. I've left you all hanging. Let's just say my husband's a good man. Decants 40-year-old port on a random Wednesday evening. Licorice in the nose. Boysenberry in the mouth, lingering into cherries, and a touch of sweet maple. Mmmmm. Deeeelish!

My heroic husband came to my rescue and helped me improve my avatar. Hurray for hubby! Now it looks better. Nice guess DRT. I do love foie gras, but I think I love ice cream better. It's my favorite thing. Ben, you were right.

Now I feel more official with a legit avatar.

Can you tell what my Avatar is?

I'll be home soon to help you drink that this evening! Oh yeah, baby!

Hutcheson???

Look, when I, Supreme Commander, orders you boys "to have fun", it does indeed mean to make the most of this tasting. But even if Hutcheson ever did declare in 1960 or any other year for that matter, you're not allowed to have Hutcheson. Period.

Carry on.

OK! OK! Husband can go. AND he can go to the tasting on the 14th May. I have no idea which one that is. I just know he wants to go to a tasting on the 14th and the 19th. (I'm so good to my hubby.)

Have fun boys!

Please remember to ask.

This is how my husband likes to communicate with me. There's no longer open, live, one-on-one discussing. Ok, so he asked. Sure he can go. But that depends on a lot of things.

Stay tuned.

Have you considered telling SCP-DFF that she is being entirely unreasonable and that her behaviour is unacceptable and an infringement of your basic human rights? In the unlikely event that the above doesn't make SCP-DFF see sense, do you want us to come to Paris in a white van and kindnap you on 2...

First of an OWC of Mz85 yesterday brought by the husband from England. Immediately after decanting, the nose is tart raspberries, tastes of cranberries and a hint of licorice. Hot, and lots of alcohol.

Color: deep burgundy
Nose: Quite alcoholic, candy apples.
Taste: Slightly hot, cherries, tart like cranberries.

Good choices. That's what I would go for as well. Will let you all know how they are and how they were received.

I've been told I should write a tasting note for what my husband has served me. Very dark, almost purple in color. Nose: caramel and dark cherries Taste: Blackberries, very tart, and a hint of chocolate cherry soda. Poor aftertaste, like cough syrup. Mediocre start, poor finish. Nothing special. SCP...

JDAW: Please feel free to draw SCP-DFF's attention to this recipe as she may find it educational. My attention was drawn. I've already learned this technique for Julian. It's the tsss-tsss (with hand gestures of flipping a pancake) way of preparing Julian's dead cow. "Just wipe its bottom and ...

Knitting? Crossword Puzzles?

Are you guys serious?

Ok, one thing I do love about boys is that they are fun to watch. 'Cause they are just so silly and find entertainment in meaningless activities!

Glad to see you here on the forum, but sad that you and JDaw left NYC. I'm not sure if you remember, but it was g-man and I at that farewell NYC tasting in The French Roast.

So sorry. That was a technical failure on my part. Didn't realize my husband had already used my iPhone to access his Port Forum. It signed me in automatically as him when I posted the previous reply asking why he's not waiting for his wife to get home before sharing the goods.
