Thanks for posting so efficiently. No surprise on the winner! Fonseca just seem to have knocked it out the park in that period. Thought the Dow may have been higher
Hope you had a great night and sorry not to be there

This was a delightful evening with a significant number of very good ports many of which could have been WOTN in other tastings. While the Fonseca AHB and Fonseca PW were predictably strong, I particularly enjoyed the Avery and Ferreira, both of which were new to me, and the Sandeman, which was a particularly toothsome example.

It was also lovely to see everyone!

My sincere thanks to Neil as organiser.

Do you know who the producer was for the Avery bottling?

@ Mike J.W. - apparently a blend of 5 of Sandeman, 5 of Fonseca, and 1 of Taylor. I am sure there was Taylor in it, as the heat is an unmistakable characteristic.
