Post by jdaw1 »

On Thursday 19th December 2013 a subset of the obvious suspects gathered at The Bell in Wendens Ambo to taste old, peculiar and unknown bottles.

Bottled by Berry Brothers. Warm red centre, mature but still with plenty of richness. Soft and gentle nose, with slightly sour cherry. Soft on the palate, restrained at first with dusty cherries later. Lovely sweet, lingering fruit finish. Gorgeous texture, gently spicy. Wonderful; beautifully elegant. Served blind, this was guessed to be a Warre 1960. 91/100.
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!

Lovely cherry-laden nose, mid-sweet and very flavourful with a long red liquorice finish. Still full of life and tannin. Exceptional - 92
