Please may I move this to the Port Conversations section? On reflection, that is a better place for this thread. Please feel free to move it. 2 days later... I've changed my mind. I like having the background to the tasting note. Would it make sense to carve out the chit chat about Jazz and the rel...

Sticking to my guns as discussed here!
Edit: Accepting defeat!

This hotel has less than 100 rooms, so is not a 40 floor massive chain hotel. As a result of this thread people are making fewer errors, but some still happen. We dealt with this simultaneously, but in different way s. Hmm. Oxford thinks otherwise : Less is also used with numbers when they are on t...

I will invoke an ancient right and assume control.

I recently visited New York. At which hotel did I stay?

AHB used some of his basic moderator powers to move the background notes to the Taylor 1863 launch from the Tasting Notes forum to the Port Conversations forum. Unfortunately these basic skills were not good enough to put the first post at the top of this thread! You can find it further down the th...

In the mouth, soft sweet entry, mild heat in the middle and through the long finish. Didn't quite have the balance in the finish - slight acidity. But lovely port n...
