Derek, I've tasted the Tesco BOB 1994 Vintage Port but it must have been an earlier bottling. I will look back at my notes when I get the chance but I swear that mine was bottled under the Quarles Harris brand. The next batch of tesco own brand Vintage Port that came in was from 1995 and this was bo...

I've posted a message on the other site and hope Roy will follow up with his contacts in the Symingtons. I have half a suspicion that this is a bit of a non-story. The Symingtons have had robots in their lagares for quite a while and have used mechanised treading in their non-premium wines for some ...

I've put vintage port into my signature line to try and increase the number of times that Google spots the phrase (Vintage Port) on TPF. I guess it won't do any harm for as many of us as possible to have Vintage Port in our signatures. So, come on everyone, make sure Vintage Port appears at least on...

Most definitely Berry Brothers - but I'm sure they were on your list already anyway. I also like to pop into Harvey Nichols and Harrods to have a laugh at their wine prices - but last time I did that I ended up walking out of Harvey Nicks with several bottles and impressed that some of their prices ...

1991 Morgan's Vintage Port
A bottle from the Morgan cellar clearance, via Christie's and Uncle Tom. After 1 hour in the decanter the wine was a deep red with dark centre and a mahogany rim - surprisingly developed colour. The nose was of dusty blackberries. In the mouth the first impression was dusty / fusty sweetness but the...

I was going to append my TN to Alan's to aid comparison in the future, but I positively refuse to put a serious tasting note after a whole pile of posts that more rightly deserve to be in meaningless drivel. (Question to the members and Creator - should these be deleted now that they have outlived t...

I'm in as well. I'd prefer the 19th as I'm trying to blag myself an invite to the Twenty20 Quarter Finals on the 18th but if the 18th is the only day that works for everyone then I'll just turn up late. Theme for the evening is Port. I might be able to manage to find something suitable but I'll have...

None of the above - I'm just slightly more flippant and significantly less serious before I have anything to drink. Like when I wrote that previous post. As Derek and Al-K can testify, I cannot drink a great deal and start to be the worse for wear after a few sniffs of port, let alone glasses. Gotta...

Alex - if you post another message then I will upgrade you... The Creator What, you mean no need to bring you that bottle of Croft 1945 that I have taken out of my cellar? You'll upgrade me without me bringing you that bottle of Quinta do Noval 1931? Just for posting one more message? I'm not sure ...

I thought I'd look for the Bishop of Norwich, someone who knows the Bishop of Norwich and also take my pet dog (actually, cat since I don't have a dog - but I can call the cat Toto if it helps). I haven't decided on the third person but will happily consider any helpful suggestions. To help solicit ...

I moved two weeks ago from a house close to a small river and in the flood plain of the small river to a new house up on a hill overlooking the same floodplain of the same small river. I am feeling very smug and have offered to get my inflatable beach boat out of my new garage to help out my former ...

Hi Alex, We all had to do the walk of shame. Best thing is to close your nose, take a deep breath and produce 10 posts as quick as you can. It'll leave a nasty aftertaste for a while, but you have plenty of time to wash that away with some 'cheap ruby'. Now I've been thinking about this and I've de...
