AHB's dilemma
Please help me to solve my dilemma.
My glass is empty and there is no Morgan '91 left in the decanter.
There is about 90 minutes worth of workday port drinking time left.
What should I do?

Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!

I don't have any tawny, so I have gone for the half bottle option.

Port is basically a red drink

That's the one. I was really worried that the bottle stink would spoil the tasting.Derek T. wrote:Is that the last Dow 83 half that you were saving so that we could do a 750 v 375 side-by-side tasting at TCP soon?
Sorry. I forgot and it was the first one on the shelf that had decent age

We can still do the 750 vs 375 tasting with Warre 83, 85, 97, 00, Malvedos 96 and FG 88...
...or even Smith Woodhouse 1980?
