Re: Vintage Port by retailer in London
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...

Re: Crusted Port Wine Malvedos 1958 in Magnum format
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.

Re: 1938 full bottle of abercorn for sale
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.

Re: Tasting
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...

Re: Tue 10 April 2018, A Second Wind for 1963s?, Boot & Flogger
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. Taylor, Dow, Graham, Croft, Warre and Cockburn definitely alive and well and probably better than five years ago. Noval...

Re: Second wind for 1963s? Tuesday 10 April 2018
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.
