dwarfed by company; otherwise good, though with slight edge to it - cork had dried/crumbled.

Re: 1960 Warre
tawny-like, actually very nice, but not how it should have been, oxidised. Not rated (faulty).

Re: 24th Sept 2012, Warre's vs Fonseca
I've just posted my tasting notes, over a month after the tasting and I'm shocked and disappointed to see that I am the first! Was I the only person there taking notes? Were the rest of you just drinking with no appreciation for the vinous beauty of what you were consuming? Shame on you all! Apolog...

Re: White Port
So, Phil, make it over to the Croft Vertical to Germany and we have the 52-63-71 as an aperitif somewhere before or after. I still own one single bottle of 52. That would be most excellent; am certainty hoping/intending to come over for the Croft vertical, if I can make the date once decided. Is it...

Re: White Port
If truth be told, the Port trade is not very good at promoting white ports. At major tasting events (if it features at all) it tends to be the also ran 'curiosity' item on the list, Perhaps it has generally been a supply/demand issue; that there hasn't been much point spending significant money pro...

I am less organised than usual and do not have (a) my contributory magnum of Graham 1880 (typing error, the 8 should be a 9) I expect people will be just as distraught by your forgetting to bring the Graham 1890 Magnum. Will be interested in how this evening's tasting goes, I look forward to the re...
