The Warre 1947 is high shoulder, bottler unknown (though it came from Alex B., and it might be that a different bottle of the batch had a label). I propose to open and decant at 07:30 on the day. Objections?

Re: Thursday 11th April - Decanting Experiment plus some drinkers
Important : anybody bringing a decanter for this experiment, please ensure that it is clean and fresh. If it hasn’t been used in the last two-ish weeks, please re-rinse by filling with very hot water, and then dry, perhaps in sun and wind. Must be very dry, so do this task before the last moment. M...

Re: 1994s, B&F, Tue 26 Mar 2024
So let me ask a question. If I were to give you a bottle of Port to drink this weekend, with the producer chosen at random, which vintage would you prefer me to select from if I limit your choice to the 1980s or 1990s? • 1980 is part great, part absolutely not. • I’m not a fan of ’83. • 1985 has so...

Re: 1994s, B&F, Tue 26 Mar 2024
I had a '94 Vesuvio earlier this year and it just blew me away. I had a '94 Graham's shortly after that and while very good, it couldn't touch the Vesuvio. With that being said, I'm still amazed that the Vesuvio ran laps around some very good Ports. Could it just be that certain bottles might not h...

Re: 1994 Graham
Graham 1994 standing in anticipation of Tuesday. Is that a 2022 release? No - it's from one of those mixed Symington 3-bottle presentation cases alongside a D94 and W94. The case has been at Seckfords for some time. Yup, that was the Dec 21 / Jan 22 release. The clue is the "matured in our cel...

RO94: red-pink, 40% opaque. Nose = “Yuck”. Others were brave enough to taste it, and reported the palate to be better than than the nose.
