Anything but Port, this includes all wines other than fortified wines (which have their own section) even if they call themselves Port. There is a search facility for this part of the forum.

From a magnum brought by Dirk.

Very pleasant indeed. Especially with 14oz of fillet steak. An acid nose, light body, with wonderful light, elegant acid and an excellent light tannic structure. The beginnings of excellent smokiness and tartness. The barnyard is a long way off, but I can see it on the horizon.. Did I mention that this was very pleasant?
