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 2011. Subdued nose, showing a little dried apricot. Lightweight mouthfeel, light flavour profile. A dry finish with a subdued aftertaste and modest finish. 85/100.
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.

Slightly nondescript nose. Harsh alcohol and a slightly industrial feel to this. Best feature is a finish full of black olives that shows with pleasing dryness. 87

My notes said “Lovely soft smooth full-bodied colheita”. No, not very specific.
