Re: 1992 Graham Malvedos
Initial impression is hmmm...strange.. with plenty of aromas, albeit unidentifiable! Cherry notes, bell pepper, star anise, tea, menthol, cinnamon and dark chocolate. On the palate its high acidity balances the sweetness nicely. A long satisfying finish with flavours lingering on the palate. I can s...

Re: 1992 Quinta do Vesuvio
Prune, damson jam, black cherry jam, hints of citrus fruit, watermelon, mint, bell pepper, it is fresh and somewhat mineral on the palate with its high acidity beautifully balanced against the sweetness. The tannins are smooth and the palate is packed with flavour. Long finish with the plummy, cherr...

1992 Cockburn Canais
Raisins, prunes a little overripe nose. On the palate a little thin with coffee notes. I felt this showed a tawny character tonight. 06/04/2022

Re: 1992 Smith Woodhouse
Nice nose, kirsch, tea, damson jam, plum and prune. I would have liked a little more acidity to balance against the sweetness however the finish is medium plus long. Not bad, in fact a very good port. 89/100

Re: Bring-a-bottle, B&F, Thursday 20th January 2022
I'm in the office on Thursday so will print them then (in case there are any last minute changes). Thank you. They have just been updated. There was a light disagreement about sighted versus blind.
