Please do post tasting notes: we like hearing opinions. For example, if I taste a Fonseca 1985, I know what to expect. And my memory of what I tasted the last few times might influence what I think I taste this time. But somebody new to it may well say ‟Xxxxxx!” ” only for the old-timers to say ‟th...

Good. Please make a tasting-note thread for each.

You also asked for prices: do check wine-searcher.com, which is excellent at that sort of thing. (And, for a regular drinker of others wines, well worth the small cost of upgrading to wine-searcher professional.)

In 1955 I have only:

Taylor;
Warre;
Unknown.

Also, to remind people, 1955 was the year of foundation of The Cambridge University Tiddlywinks Club, and hence I am always trying to accumulate budget 1955s to serve at important Annual Dinners of that club.

I’d love to attend a 1955 horizontal, but ideally it would be later in the year.

Most likely to impress a proto-father-in-law? Fonseca 1963, followed by the Fonseca 1977. Both fantastic wines. You should be laying down the Fonseca 1985 (I know, I am) for later drinking. But if the recession is hurting, Dow 1963 and Warre 1980 would still be more than acceptable. (I was mean: my ...

Maybe this will be useful (though perhaps not the third page). If you tell me the name of the company where you work, I’ll add that.

(Please check that I have correctly translated column titles on the page for tasting notes.)

Do you want placemats? On A4, no names of drinkers, fairly plain and simple? If yes say here. (Maybe DRT will do them, failing which I will.)

Okay , called up wineconsigners about the 1960 .... purchased sotheby's auction 11/17/06 .. capsule branded with grahams 1960. no signs of seepage. Fill is very top shoulder. G-man won’t be adopting at the Graham vertical. That's a pricey decade! Be nice to include a G55, and even a G45” . They won...

According to www.wine-searcher.com/prof/ the cheapest G63 in the US is at www.wineconsigners.com for a mere $260, who also have Graham 1960 for $150.

Maybe. Possibly. Probably. And family Paris more likely than the UK.

But New York tastings will continue, driven forward by g-man and the crew.

In Portugal I tried and really liked the Portal 2003, and recently acquired some.

And EricD to make the placemats!

Perhaps ‟oxymoron”, because only one is spelt correctly.

Scale the big picture before uploading. And, if wanted, add a zoom-in (or at least unscaled and cropped) picture of the cufflink.

And the last of the possibilities listed in the first post is now the star of Graham vertical in New York.

It is possible that, some time in 2009 Q2, I shall be returning to the old world. One possibility is that all my port could travel with me.

One of the possibilities not favoured in this thread is now the star of 1977 horizontal in New York: version 2.

Bought at auction. I can check details if you really care.

Three observations:

The â‰¤1977 Cockburns taste different to those after.
Fonseca 1985 has a strong family resemblance to the ’63/’66/’70 triumvirate.
Taylor 1900 tastes like an older version of Taylor 1970.

But a tasting is ‟a fun evening together”.

Renamed from ‟Let’s all drink JDAW’s port (New York)” to ‟Apr 2009, New York: Classic years of Taylor, Fonseca, Warre”.

It won’t be adoptions. I’m bringing all or nearly all, with costs being split.

Oh, you don’t want to drink that stuff you have organic chemistry exams. Revision is very important, you know.
