Knowing that you just recently had a KL70, and also knowing that it will be fine for many more years, I voted for the T70.

No need to exhaust your supply of KL70 just yet, especially since it is a bit of an oddity that might be more fun to share.

Good theory, but that KL70 is in Paris, and I just don’t have enough port in Paris to return bottles to the UK. It will be drunk in Paris, sooner or not much later.

We have a result: 1970 Taylor (the winner receiving 2 votes, ‘Both’ and ‘No port’ each getting one vote).

Why are you drinking it before your wife arrives?

So sorry. That was a technical failure on my part. Didn't realize my husband had already used my iPhone to access his Port Forum. It signed me in automatically as him when I posted the previous reply asking why he's not waiting for his wife to get home before sharing the goods.

This gives us a problem. We will now not know if we are conversing with JDAW1 or SCP-DFF :shock:

Incidentally, SCP-DFF, I think you need to get home soon. He's been staying up too late and not eating anything green for the past couple of weeks :lol:
