Think it’s likely that we may be having a tasting for a different reason but yes, I would be up for this.

Nope - bottles.
Oof.
Yes, very punchy indeed and based on a recent tasting, the Warre might prove the better value in the long term.

Re: Emergency, Tue 26 April 2022

Apologies for the late notification but I will have to withdraw from this tasting; as I have thankfully remembered in time that it's my wedding anniversary and that it might be a little imprudent to attend a Port tasting on this evening!
