1991 Croft: full red, no brown. Smell odd, but nice: stewed rhubarb. Mid-palate roughness. Fades, then returns, to produce late heat. A vegetal something throughout the nose and palate.

1977 Croft: Brick red. Very soft, a little heat, extremely long. Later I though nosing of meat beef. ‟Tastes of port”, I wrote. Utterly lovely.

1994 Taylor: purple-black, nosing of plums and stewed fruit. Hot mid-palate. Fades, then re-appears, to good length. Needs time. With chewing showed very big tannins, and showed them earlier than the F94.

1985 Taylor: Lighter than the F85, being red rather than black. Initial attack shows much heat, then a big long length. Very very long. very strong mint aftertaste.

1977 Taylor: mostly red, almost brick-red. Mint or eucalyptus in nose. Much hotter than the Croft 1977, and bigger, though not as long. I prefer the Croft 1977.

1994 Fonseca : purple black. A little heat mid-palate (less than the T94), very long and consistently-flavoured during that length. Needs so much time. very tannic. Very big wine indeed. Great wine, which might be ready in my lifetime. Interesting that the lodge tastes from US-labelled bottles (Kob...

1985 Fonseca : just like Fonseca 1985. Purple red, nose and taste of stewed young plums, and just too young. Huge. Wait! Interesting that the lodge tastes from US-labelled bottles (Kobrand Corporation). So instead look at this picture of twenty-seven Imperials (six litres, eight-bottle bottles) of ...

There is a God. And even if there isn’t, he is still merciful.

1970 Fonseca: Reddy brown. To taste my notes seem to have omitted the nose incredibly long. Mature beautiful port. I have had bigger F70s, but never longer. SLT said ‟elegant”. Older-tasting than the F70 at the F-plan.
