E: Red tending to brown at the rim.
N: An unwanted nose of hot stewed fruit.
P: Hot and acrid on the palate.
Not at all enjoyable.

M.Charlton

E: Cloudy/brown in the glass.
N: A very strange musky liquorice note on the nose.
P: The mustiness on the nose did not translate to the palate, nor did much else to write about.
Such a shame.

M.Charlton

My thanks to Tom and to Alex for organising this one, and especially to Tom for providing so many of the Ports. It was a shame that most of the wines were less than good, particularly so in the case of the NN. However, it was good to see how well the "second label" wines stood up relative ...

Please could I adopt the Cockburn’s.

anyone with stocks of Tawny will join the bandwagon

Need to check a couple of the bottles listed as they may be same but rebranded

Excellent, thanks Tony.

Starter - Mac n Cheese.
Main - steak (rare), fries, green beans and Bearnaise sauce, please.
I’ve not managed to acquire anything from 1983 in the intervening period, so I’m still an adopter.

M.Charlton

I'm now aware of 12 bottlings (the first post has been edited to list them). If I've missed some, please let me know.

Also, does anyone know if we are to expect releases from any of the other houses anytime soon?

M.Charlton

Yes please. I have G70, G94 and G97.

M.Charlton

Yes please.

M.Charlton

23rd or 25th May both work for me.

M.Charlton · Re: Thu 30 March 2023 - An Online Tasting with Friends Yes please!

Yes please!

This is an excellent idea.

Something else (please say what)

M.Charlton

Many thanks, Alex and Zak. Hopefully the tech will pull through on the evening!

M.Charlton

Just realised I’m not listed as an “online attendee”. Is it ok for me to attend virtually?

Ditto (sorry for the late notice).

Thirded.

If only teleporters had been invented… I guess it won’t be long before they will be and I can get one from Aldi for Christmas… if buying a bargain teleporter is advisable that is 👀 Wonder if there's interest in doing a Zoom get-together at some point pre-Xmas? Would be an opportunity for some of th...

Outstanding - thanks for the note, Axel.

Confirmed for 23/02

Ditto.

M.Charlton

Mine has arrived - it looks and feels excellent. The Book is also particularly attractive w/o the dust cover, which is a nice touch. Many thanks, Julian.

M.Charlton

Yes please (as an adopter).

Suspicions confirmed - excellent news!

M.Charlton

It seems that the Port Walk is no more (at least that’s what my account manager says). This event is set to take its place.

M.Charlton

Thanks for the additional info, all. It’s very much looking like we will be able to do option A (including some 50 y.o. white tawnies sounds like a grand idea). I will collate the list of what’s available into the first post once I’m front of a proper computer, rather than my mobile.
