Re: 2009 Taylor LBV
Bottled 2014. Youthful in colour. Hard on the nose, some fruit but very restrained. Slow to develop on the palate but eventually shows plenty of fruit and astonishingly powerful tannins to the extent of being rather unbalanced at the moment. However, the sheer tanninc power does lead to a great vol...

1985 Warre
Audozed for 6 hours. Medium cherry red colour with pale rim. Red fruited nose. Strawberries perhaps. Has a light re fruit yet sweet and glycerol thickened palate of red liquorice straps. Surprisingly a medium length finish despite the lightness of the fruit. Perhaps due to the glycerol mouth feel. B...

1983 Gould Campbell
Popped and poured as the first port to hand when the masses cried out for more. Moderate dark black red (is there a colour/opacity image that can be placed as a sticky?). This is a moderate port on bouquet and palate but very well balanced. Bouquet of morello cherry and ripe blood plums of moderate ...

1983 Niepoort
Audozed for 6 hours. Dark black red with some paling at the rim. Intense cassis and graphite bouquet. A Bordeaux port :) Palate very primary of black forest fruits and anise with some VA lift - in this case completely in check and working for the good. Long savoury palate with firm hefty fine graine...

Re: How to end up £200 lighter after a week of heavy drinkin
I once booked a flight from Sydney to Perth, Australia. Didn't realise that the website I thought I scored a cheap deal on had the American form of date i.e. month first, as opposed to the British standard of day then month. My wife was not amused when we tried to check in
