Red berries on the nose. Punchy liquorice followed by heather honey and redcurrants. Mint. The honey follows through into the long finish. V good.
2nd place on the night for me.

Re: 1985 Horizontal - 16 March 2022
Gents, work is ramping up at the moment, which is unfortunately at odds with plans to take days off to come up to London. I'm going to have to drop out of this one, but if things become calmer I may be able to join late on if there are any last minute cancellations. My apologies. Please promote Dave...

Re: Churchill Tasting, 1st March 2022
I'd like to add my thanks to both Neil for organising and to the Churchill Graham's for attending and providing some great insights into the ports we were drinking. Really enjoyed the evolution of the various ports particularly the shift from the 80s into the 90s. And yes, I made it onto my coach! H...

Re: Post-2000s ports for the future
Welcome! As a fellow uninformed enthusiast who is also young enough to hopefully take advantage of ports that have been released this side of the millennium I've been focused on a mix of VP and SQVP (which will hopefully provide joy sooner). You'll probably already be aware of the hype surrounding 2...

I've just been made aware that there will be a tube strike on Tuesday. I still plan on attending but may need to leave early to ensure I make my trip back to Bristol.

Re: Churchill Tasting, 1st March 2022
Confirming. I still have the ChG05 and ChG09, but provided costs aren't prohibitive I could adopt if we'd prefer to stick to full VP.

Re: Churchill Tasting, 1st March 2022
This one snuck up quickly! I assume we're going ahead with the Grahams in attendance, although the chatter on here has been a little quieter than the 85s thread. Neil, are we good to go? Which wines would you like us to bring?

Re: Latest buy
Less of a latest buy and more of a "latest arrival", with the 2018 wines finally making it safely to our shores. The Guimaraens is in 375s, I'm looking forward to regularly sampling those over the next couple of decades and seeing how they evolve. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220130/...
