I did consider that option; my favourite if I don't make it myself is from Waitrose in fresh packet rather than a jar, but which freezes OK too - but I would not want to be rude.Alex Bridgeman wrote:Or just bring a jar of your own.

Re: Graham (or Malvedos) vertical, Tue 14 May 2024
I've just spoken with the B&F and there is defiantly no Bearnaise sauce available That's a real shame, they've been fine with it for a long time as long as we ordered in advance. Ah well - thanks for trying; I've updated above to have peppercorn instead. Maybe we'll persuade them to bring it ba...

Re: Graham (or Malvedos) vertical, Tue 14 May 2024
I’d rather do the GMs separately, not mixed in with the Graham vertical. Agreed. I think the list Martin has proposed is based on what has been offered to him. For example, no-one has offered a bottle of 1957 nor anything older than 1955. Or, reading between the lines of Martin's post: If you have ...

Indeed, though I've only just taken my first 94 case from storage, so if others are in a similar position I suspect we might not have convenient access to many yet.flash_uk wrote:Wouldn’t hurt to do a 2003 horizontal now that it has reached 21 years of age.

Re: 1994s, B&F, Tue 26 Mar 2024
It was a very interesting tasting, but I would echo some of Mike's comments in terms of not meeting expectations. The Vesuvio was utterly magnificent (and a separate non-magnum bottle I had recently was equally as good); currently wine of the vintage. The Warre was also very good, and my third place...

Re: Unusual Shaped Port Bottle
Brightwells have a couple of bottles in their current auction with the same flat side to them (n.b. both lower levels and colour drop, so no intention from me to bid). In this case they are clearly labelled Sandeman 1927, and bottled by George Sandeman and Son; it's only the second time I've seen po...

Re: Is 30yo VP darker than it used to be?
Tricky question. It seems to me that the 80's and early 90's ports are taking longer to mature than those of the 60's and 70's, though this might just be an erroneous perception, I am not sure. If true, then it might be that the ports are not any darker at the same stage of maturity, but are aging m...
