For this Single Harvest Tawny Port tasting, I would like:
Potted Devon Crab
Davy's Kentish Bangers and Mash with Madeira gravy
side of Welsh Rarebit
Note that my orders for the 2 tastings during this week are different, if that is okay.

Re: Graham (or Malvedos) vertical, Tue 14 May 2024
For this vintage Port tasting, I would like: Potted Devon Crab Ribeye (med rare) with garlic butter side of chopped Davy's sausages with honey mustard glaze I suspect that since the chopped sausages are more expensive than other sides that there will be a surcharge for those, and that is fine. Note ...

Re: Thursday 11th April - Decanting Experiment plus some drinkers
Gould Cambell 1977 Magnum , 2:00pm decanted into a magnum decanter. This did take some time to open up, around hour an 1 hour and half to 2 hours, what a wonderful port, great balance, lovely smooth finish, I believe the first bottle finished. I think that because it was finished so early in the da...

Re: Taylor Single Harvest Tawny Tasting - 16 May 2024
To maintain a sensible bottles/head ratio I've decided that we'll just stick to the Taylor bottles and skip the whites. As such, the Quevedo is removed and Glenn doesn't need to bring the Ste. Eufemia Special Reserve. Noted, thank you. It shall go back to sleeping in my wine fridge. [Narrator: it d...

Re: Graham (or Malvedos) vertical, Tue 14 May 2024
Further, if someone has a 1948 that they could be convinced to trade for a 1945, I could bring both of these 1945s and we could extend the tasting back to WW2.

Re: Graham (or Malvedos) vertical, Tue 14 May 2024
I’d rather do the GMs separately, not mixed in with the Graham vertical. Same. I think the list Martin has proposed is based on what has been offered to him. For example, no-one has offered a bottle of 1957 nor anything older than 1955. I have a 1945 that I would be happy to bring, but I feel that ...

Re: London in May
Ha! I was doing some further research regarding things I might like to do while in London, and discovered 2 things that were not at all as I expected. 1. Seckford's is not in London. For some reason I associated "Dock Lane" with the docklands and thought it would be easy to pop by and take...

Re: 1957 Graham
Your bottle label appears to be: GRAHAM (in black) <vintage> (in red) VINTAGE PORT i.e. no room for the word Malvedos, and no bottling year statement. The only other label which matches that format would be the one in AHBs image at the top of the thread, so I suspect it could well be a bottle from ...

Re: 1957 Graham
I hadn't noticed them before, but yes there are. Embossed into the glass is the number 374 and the letters 'RL'. Possibly 'RD" but I don't think so.

Re: 1957 Graham
I am unable to get my phone's camera to focus any better than this because the selo itself is so damaged that it looks blurry no matter what. I tried to get it to focus on the edge of the selo to no avail. There's no back side to the selo visible as it has been torn off at some point. 2024-04-02 10....

Re: 1957 Graham
The bottle has arrived and is in good condition. Unfortunately the label is not terribly useful as it is damaged and one can only read the '19' from the date. I emailed further questions regarding the validity of the bottle to Garrafeira Nacional and they (say that they) did some further investigati...

Re: 1994s, B&F, Tue 26 Mar 2024
Is there a better modern Vintage than 1994? Perhaps 2011? So let me ask a question. If I were to give you a bottle of Port to drink this weekend, with the producer chosen at random, which vintage would you prefer me to select from if I limit your choice to the 1980s or 1990s? It's hard to say for s...

I look forward to everyone's notes! We are doing a significant horizontal of 1994 the first week of August. Probably 26 bottles over 2 sessions. We have, I think, 30 or 32 bottles available but some just aren't worth including. Which bottles won't make the cut? Currently not included: Niepoort Niep...

Re: 1994 Graham
That sounds more that slightly imperfect to me. None of the bolded descriptors should normally apply to a 1994 Graham. Or really any Graham.
Unfortunate.
