Good reply.

Back to the main subject, please could other posters of TN consider themselves encouraged to include photographs of bottle, cork, and—most importantly—port.

You might or might not be a fairy, even of the port variety. But this is a family bulletin board so we don’t want to be told.

Whatever the taste, the Morgan 1991 seems to have a very distinctive affect on the mind. Much the same affect, as best I can tell at this distance, as a gin and tonic.

The following day, from an unchilled decanter that alas seemed to be empty after pouring but one glass: still a fine port with good tannins and mouth-fillingness. Better on day 1 though.

Because I fancy some port. Only reason. (You see, I always fancy some port. So that reasons hold true every time I open a bottle. Supplementary reasons include the wife fancying port, a port tasting, or just because I fancy some port. It’s really that easy.)

Nine in ten are VP.

It is an excellent avatar.
• It speaks of you and yours;
• It is stylish; and
• It is not so loud or moving as to distract a reader from the text.
Well done.

I would rather it were slightly narrower, but that would lose resolution so I’m not doing any of my usual grumbles.

Please could we have a photo or two?

No. Use Paint or like software to make your own avatar. Something that speaks distinctively of you or yours, rather than a child’s rendering of an explosion in a flag factory.

Suggesting decanting into micro-decanters, holding one glass each. Perhaps the technique would be to decant directly into twenty-odd glasses, and … (stop me when this gets silly, like, perhaps, now)

Multiple teachers would have ‟teachers’ heads” (unless many teachers were sharing a single head). Let’s not go there.

Others were parodying, but this was careless:

I bought a case of this in New York, and have not had as strong an experience as have you. Alas.

In my limited experience Taylor 1983 is Taylor’s worst declaration since the war (unless they declared 1975?); and Taylor 1983 is the worst 1983 of the major houses. I am not a fan.

Ahh, a true American, rather than someone living in a beer-free country. Welcome.

Hasn’t changed. At least, not as of the notification of your reply.

Having rather enjoyed the Ramos Pinto at my 1985 horizontal in March , I bought Soho Wines ’ entire stock, that being a mere three bottles, for the trifling sum of $55 each. http://www.jdawiseman.com/ftlop/20070623-rp85-bottle.jpg Cork extracted easily with screwpull.

I wasn’t criticising; merely suggesting.
