Re: 2003 Graham
G03. Medium dark red with some garnet. Good fruit on the nose, but difficult to separate. Rich and full in the mouth with strong tannins and good fruit. Might still be coming out of a teenage funk, but even so has nice balance. Needs another 10 years to soar. 95 points.

Re: 2024: May 14 - Graham
I'm finally home and catching up on notes and records. This was a splendid evening! A vertical of Graham's Ports going all the way back to 1942?!? Fantastic. Thank you, Martin, for organizing and for coordinating the date so that it would work with my vacation schedule. I put my nickname at risk to ...

Re: Strawberry Fields Forever (1st July - Spot The Taylor Vertical)
I have in the past, when needing to splash decant multiple bottles, done so thusly: Port 1 -> decanter Port 2 -> Port 1 Port 3 -> Port 2 ... decanter -> Port N Obviously, as each bottle is emptied, it should be rinsed thoroughly of sediment before the next Port is decanted into it. Also, the use of ...

Re: Strawberry Fields Forever (1st July - Spot The Taylor Vertical)
I'll ask Seckford to choose 1 bottle each of the missing intervening vintages from my stocks with them 1960, 1975, 1980, 1983 and then for them to decide how many should be Taylor and how many should not be Taylor i.e 0-4 Taylor bottles. Then to remove all labels and capsules and simply label the b...

What time are we starting? Boot and Flogger is a 5 min walk from my hotel.
Alex, should I bring your bottle to this evening or bring it on Wednesday?

Re: Graham (or Malvedos) vertical, Tue 14 May 2024
The inevitable has happened and I cannot find my half case of 1985 Graham. 60,80,83 etc I can find but not 85. I am happy to fork out for anyone else’s bottle of 85 Graham, if they have one to hand that they can bring along. I can bring one with me but I would have to know in the next 2 hours. Afte...

Re: Graham (or Malvedos) vertical, Tue 14 May 2024
Mine is correct as documented, but if possible may I join the Welsh Rarebit club and add one to my order?
I ordered it for Thursday night, but apparently forgot to order it for Tuesday night.

Re: 50 Year Old Tawnies (and potential friends) - 2023 (or later)
DR has both (50 White and 50 Tawny). Quinta de Prelada has a 50 Year Old White for sure... I still don't know about a Tawny. I tasted the white at LaDo. Vieira de Sousa has both. These are all Ports that I've tasted from "50 Year Old" bottles so I know that they exist. I also know that Qui...

Re: 50 Year Old Tawnies (and potential friends) - 2023 (or later)
I'm now aware of 12 bottlings (the first post has been edited to list them). If I've missed some, please let me know. Also, does anyone know if we are to expect releases from any of the other houses anytime soon? This one is not on your list. I have seen photographic evidence that Butler Nephew has...

Re: SFE launches Graham's 50 yo
I like those nifty wood boxes, but I feel like products that use them have had their prices pumped up artificially beyond the added cost of the box.
Plus when I buy a lot of some Port that's in those boxes, I end up with too many of them. Graham's The Stone Terraces.

Re: Taylor Single Harvest Tawny Tasting - 16 May 2024
For this Single Harvest Tawny Port tasting, I would like:
Potted Devon Crab
Davy's Kentish Bangers and Mash with Madeira gravy
side of Welsh Rarebit
Note that my orders for the 2 tastings during this week are different, if that is okay.

For this vintage Port tasting, I would like: Potted Devon Crab Ribeye (med rare) with garlic butter side of chopped Davy's sausages with honey mustard glaze I suspect that since the chopped sausages are more expensive than other sides that there will be a surcharge for those, and that is fine.

Re: Thursday 11th April - Decanting Experiment plus some drinkers
Gould Cambell 1977 Magnum , 2:00pm decanted into a magnum decanter. This did take some time to open up, around hour an 1 hour and half to 2 hours, what a wonderful port, great balance, lovely smooth finish, I believe the first bottle finished. I think that because it was finished so early in the da...

Re: Taylor Single Harvest Tawny Tasting - 16 May 2024
To maintain a sensible bottles/head ratio I've decided that we'll just stick to the Taylor bottles and skip the whites. As such, the Quevedo is removed and Glenn doesn't need to bring the Ste. Eufemia Special Reserve. Noted, thank you. It shall go back to sleeping in my wine fridge. [Narrator: it d...

Re: Graham (or Malvedos) vertical, Tue 14 May 2024
Further, if someone has a 1948 that they could be convinced to trade for a 1945, I could bring both of these 1945s and we could extend the tasting back to WW2.

Re: Graham (or Malvedos) vertical, Tue 14 May 2024
I’d rather do the GMs separately, not mixed in with the Graham vertical. Same. I think the list Martin has proposed is based on what has been offered to him. For example, no-one has offered a bottle of 1957 nor anything older than 1955. I have a 1945 that I would be happy to bring, but I feel that ...
