Julian, will you be like John Lewis (never knowingly undersold)? If so I'll take a copy from you!

I will be over in London late October so won't be able to make it to this. Please use up another sub from the bench.

Well done...where there is a will there is a way

Port you bought at auction that you definitely did not intend to bid on but as no one else was bidding was a shame to pass up any resemblance to Joycean punctuation was intended

Justin K

I resisted the temptation to buy any of the single vineyard lotes such as Capela, Stone Terraces or Nacional on the basis that I'll be dead before they're ready and that neither of my children are that much into Port (yet?). Well if either (or both) want to inherit the business (and extensive cella...

That bottle is a leaker, it was the bottle holder I was referring to! Btw you are correct it is a 1973 Chateau Tucau Barsac.

Justin K

F.O.C.

Justin K

I’m doing a clear out and this came with a bottle of Crofts 1960. Too retro for me but,before I chuck it in the bin, does anybody want it?

Big Love wrote: ↑11:04 Tue 30 Jun 2026 1 x 12 1977 Dows. Splitting with Mike W and Andrew K. Bottles are not in the greatest of shape but the price was right!

Just hope you get the four good ones

Justin K

Considering I've only organised 1 tasting ever I'm surprised and delighted to be so far up the reserve list! Thanks Harry

Think that's a bargain.

Great buy Neil, never tasted or even seen this; crack one open and let us know how it is.

Justin K

I have 1940, 1960, 1963, 1966, 1970, 1972, 1975, 1977, 1980, 1983, 1985, 1994 and 2000

Yes please and I have a 1940 (see Julian’s book)

Thanks Christopher; pleased with them except for the Royal Oporto which I believe is dreadful but I know an ‘83 baby who will want it (and at €22.46 it didn’t break the bank!)

I did open a M&S 2011 this morning at 7.30 before I went out to work but got home at 10.00 tonight and went straight to bed with a cup of Earl Grey (NV), shattered. Will enjoy the Port over the “we’ll keep the red flag flying” weekend. Good night and May your Gods go with you.

Justin K · Re: The Port Forum Christmas tasting - 16 December 2027 Reserve please.

Reserve please.

Justin K

I picked up a case of V94, half a case of GST11, and a bottle of G35 (Whitwham's bottling) at the same Heritage auction. These are all ex-Don Schliff bottles. This officially puts me at 1% of the GST11 production run. 2.5 cases owned out of 250 produced. (I don't still have 2.5 cases... with these ...

I love the Taylor’s 1985 (and indeed a lot of other Taylor vintages!) but it’s not turning up much hereabouts

Yes but have to leave for the airport at 19.00.

Justin K

I will be at the BFT and briefly at the Boot and Flogger afterwards. I plan to bring over my Ck 60; will I leave it there or will someone volunteer to mind it till next month?

Was buying some antique metal boxes and saw this and at €4.50 will make excellent gravy. Anyone familiar with this?

Will still take 3 of the regular and one of the Centario please.

Hopefully can make it have GM, SWM, CH and 2 halves of CRR!

It’s not something about which to be “afraid”, even if not quite John 2:1–11.

I agree as there is no mention of fortification in the New Testament, not, I hasten to add, that I am any kind of expert

OBV85 x 12 Found these to be quite mature the last time I had it, decent port but don't cellar them for another decade.
