I suppose I am not the only one who might be staying up a bit later than usual to see the outcome of the referendum. I shall be selecting myself a bottle of something to keep me company and I rather fancy trying a bottle of Taylor 66. I bought a few recently and have been itching to try one since it seems to be getting good reviews lately. But it may depend on what I can get my hand to in the stash.
Anyone else opening anything?
No politics, just port.

Re: Referendum port
I couldn't get to the Taylor and having toyed with a Graham 85 eventually plumped for the Fonseca 83 as being more appropriate for the weather, more like a lunchtime port. Note to follow.
Re: Referendum port
Graham Crusted 98. Better than some I've opened. Slightly stewed nose but sweet fruit and lovely milk chocolate cherry finish. Will get me through tonight (probably).

Re: Referendum port
I feel for all of you living with this fiasco and if I was there I'd open some port for you. Sure it will be needed.

Derek, Julian and I were in Oporto for the Sao Joao fireworks and festival on referendum day. We were drinking Taylor 1985, Morgan 1991 and Morgan 1977.
