Berry Bro.s surely? https://www.bbr.com/about/shops If you visit BBR you should also visit Fortnam & Mason, which is just a 5-10 minute walk from BBR. You could also try Hedonism in Mayfair, also close to BBR, who have an extensive Port list: https://hedonism.co.uk/wines/fortified-wines/?winetype=F...

If we are to be drinking leaky bottles at £956 a pop I will be out.

Let's get sensible gents.

This decision has been made as an exercise of the organiser’s authority. It is not a team vote.

Good. Thank you.

It wasn't cheap!

Ouch! - £956 according to Bonhams results..

It looks genuine to me.

A little known fact is that in the early days of the use of the brand "Malvedos" the wines didn't come from the quinta - they were from vineyards in the Torto valley. This is probably from that era.

Bottleman,

You are far more likely to attract a buyer here if you would take the time to post a meaningful message describing the condition of the bottle, ideally accompanied by a photograph and letting us know where you are.

Having been fortunate enough to have experienced many years of tasting fine wines in the presence of other enthusiasts I must say the number one question in my head every time I see, smell or taste a wine is "how much do I like this?". Reference tastes and smells are interesting discussion points, b...

There were two obviously flawed bottles, Fonseca and Niepoort, so they are excluded from the answer to the question. Of the others, there was a definite split with a wobbly border.

The quality assurance is going very well.

The decanting team will arrive at B&F around 12:30 for a spot of pre-decanting lunch followed by an afternoon of decanting and quality assurance.

If there is a preferred order in which the bottles should be decanted please say so soon.

Let us open both please! DRT's suggestion should not be considered but ignored!

That is a much better suggestion than mine

I think one per person would be sufficient.

Agreed

Starter: Scallops, prawns and bacon with Chilli as a starter portion - i.e. No need to include the salad.

Rib-eye steak medium-rare with skinny fries.

No savoury.

No desert.

Please put me back on the food order.

Please could those who have deposited 1963s at the B&F reveal what’s there. Who was deposited what?

I will be dropping off the Cr63 tomorrow around lunchtime.

I am available for whatever duties need to be performed on Tuesday. Someone please give me my orders.

I am back in and bringing a Cr63

Apologies, I am now unable to attend. Please give my seat to someone on the waiting list.

This might be possible. Will confirm tomorrow.

I am fairly certain I have no 1922s immediately to hand.

Starter: Scallops, prawns and bacon with Chilli as a starter portion - i.e. No need to include the salad.

No savoury.

No desert.

14:50 out and 12:05 return. Very civilised.

my collection of vintage port now topping one thousand imperial gallons

I recall you telling me about a decade ago that you planned to keep your collection at around 2,000 bottles. 500+ case is slightly more than that

Sorry chaps - I am having my second knee operation on 21 May so will still be immobile and, more significantly, in an alcohol-free state when this tasting happens.

As they say on FTLOP a lot... +1

Hadn’t realised how cheap it could be... I might build 2 at the end of the garden. Now I just need 400 cases too!

You only need one case of Port and 399 cases of water to get going
