+0: Tasted only a small bit. Clearly dark red as it decanted but virtually black in any quantity. licorice, maybe a little prune, some chocolate in the tail. very fruity and smooth, but actually very much "port flavored."

Will update with a +8 soon. We also have some effectively +0 in a bottle

Peaches!!!

The new time of 4pm admits more mischief. If at most two of those in the UK, at 9pm their time, should wish to join us by video Skype, with a glass of vintage Fonseca to hand, they would be most welcome to do so. Advance notice would facilitate placement of computers.

Prunes!!!

+8.5 I can see where you find peaches, i find a lot of burn and a lot of prune (or at least plum). Maybe even some apricot. Needs a lot of time still to blow off the alcohol. We'll see what we've got tomorrow (should be +25/+1-2 when we taste).

A very tempting offer, but I will likely not be home before 2300, possibly as late as 0000 due to a trip into London to see our pantomime - this year it is a trip to see Wicked at the Apollo Victoria. If I'm not exhausted, I'll drop you a text by SMS.

Please confirm that the people are:

1. JDAW;
2. JHG;
3. JES;
4. JES’s D.D.;
5. MW;
6. MW’s +1.

Confirmed on the people.

Steph may join us if we decide to have dinner. For food though, not drink

Julian, will you be around at 3-3:30ish? I might get out of work even earlier.

I need to wash glasses and set table.

No food has been bought.

perhaps we might swing by french roast ?

Hope you're having fun, chaps. I'm shattered so decided not to join you by Skype, but I'm reading your posts while enjoying a glass of Vesuvio 2006 - the port I helped to tread!
