The only other hint that I can add is that if the bottom of the cork actually falls into the wine then the only solution that I have found that works is a three stage affair: (1) decant the wine as normal but just be alert to the rogue piece of cork forming a temporary blockage that suddenly shifts ...

Tom, I'm pretty sure that you are invited - I think it was a general invitation to all on this forum and a few others. The arrangements are not 100% firm and are being organised by Alex K but the gist of it is that we will meet in the late afternoon / early evening of July 18 at the Crusting Pipe in...

I'm catching up with threads that have been posted here while I was away in the home of the other place and I came across this one. Alex K has it spot on, I really can't vote for one of the 4 options that he has presented. Clearly the '66s, '70s or '77s are nowhere near mature-ish. Some of the '63s ...

Derek, I've tasted the Tesco BOB 1994 Vintage Port but it must have been an earlier bottling. I will look back at my notes when I get the chance but I swear that mine was bottled under the Quarles Harris brand. The next batch of tesco own brand Vintage Port that came in was from 1995 and this was bo...

I've posted a message on the other site and hope Roy will follow up with his contacts in the Symingtons. I have half a suspicion that this is a bit of a non-story. The Symingtons have had robots in their lagares for quite a while and have used mechanised treading in their non-premium wines for some ...

I've put vintage port into my signature line to try and increase the number of times that Google spots the phrase (Vintage Port) on TPF. I guess it won't do any harm for as many of us as possible to have Vintage Port in our signatures. So, come on everyone, make sure Vintage Port appears at least on...

Most definitely Berry Brothers - but I'm sure they were on your list already anyway. I also like to pop into Harvey Nichols and Harrods to have a laugh at their wine prices - but last time I did that I ended up walking out of Harvey Nicks with several bottles and impressed that some of their prices ...

1991 Morgan's Vintage Port
A bottle from the Morgan cellar clearance, via Christie's and Uncle Tom. After 1 hour in the decanter the wine was a deep red with dark centre and a mahogany rim - surprisingly developed colour. The nose was of dusty blackberries. In the mouth the first impression was dusty / fusty sweetness but the...

I was going to append my TN to Alan's to aid comparison in the future, but I positively refuse to put a serious tasting note after a whole pile of posts that more rightly deserve to be in meaningless drivel. (Question to the members and Creator - should these be deleted now that they have outlived t...

I'm in as well. I'd prefer the 19th as I'm trying to blag myself an invite to the Twenty20 Quarter Finals on the 18th but if the 18th is the only day that works for everyone then I'll just turn up late. Theme for the evening is Port. I might be able to manage to find something suitable but I'll have...

None of the above - I'm just slightly more flippant and significantly less serious before I have anything to drink. Like when I wrote that previous post. As Derek and Al-K can testify, I cannot drink a great deal and start to be the worse for wear after a few sniffs of port, let alone glasses. Gotta...

Alex - if you post another message then I will upgrade you... The Creator What, you mean no need to bring you that bottle of Croft 1945 that I have taken out of my cellar? You'll upgrade me without me bringing you that bottle of Quinta do Noval 1931? Just for posting one more message? I'm not sure ...
