On Monday 24th September 2012, several members of TPF met at TBH for a dual mini-vertical of Warre's and Fonseca ports of the same years.

Bottled by Mayor Sworder. Brick red, 20% opaque. Fabulous nose, delicious and inviting with a hint of cocnut and sweet raisin. Sweet and flavoursome, lovely texture; comes with a cedar-wood bite on the palate and a very gentle pepperiness from the tannins. Fabulous concentration on the aftertaste and finish. Wonderful port, really great. 94/100. Decanted 11 hours
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!

W63, decanted 08:00. Red-pink, 40% opaque. Palate very very soft, and long, and sweet. Hint of strawberry in that long palate.
