On Monday 24th September 2012, several members of TPF met at TBH for a dual mini-vertical of Warre's and Fonseca ports of the same years.

Deep red in colour, with a very solid rim; 90% opaque. Fabulous nose, with a wonderful lime juice dominating. Delicious milk chocolate entry, sweet raisins and gentle cocoa tannins. Great concentration and depth of flavour. Huge aftertaste, massive and fabulous finish. This is stunning, fabulous port - just an immense presence. 95/100. Decanted 9 hours
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
