Another splendid evening with some excellent Ports and great company. It was a pleasure to meet Simon, a man with very similar interests to many here on
Julian stormed away with the scoring on the blind tasting with a quite magnificent 2pts from 5 bottles, which is almost unprecedented. The others in the group each scored a creditable 1pt.
Wine of the night was Dow 1970, closely followed by a very rare Noval 1950 with Vesuvio 1994 in a strong third place. The other two wines received no points, which is a disservice to one of them.
No doubt someone took tasting notes that will be posted later.
