Top Ports in 2022: Quinta do Noval Nacional 1931. I have never drunk such a wonderful bottle of Port. I cried with joy.
2023: Fonseca 1966. There are not many better Ports, except a good bottle of Fonseca 1927. Wow!

Hi,
as I am booked on the first flight out of Heathrow to Frankfurt for business the day after this tasting I will leave fairly early or even have to drop out if it does get messy at work. Sorry for the short notice; I did not have a lot of choice here.....
regards

The

Please could our organiser ensure that we will have enough glasses for nine people and eleven Ports.
