Fantastic pics! It's interesting to watch the evolution from the oldest Ports to the more recent ones. 1980 seems to be the point where they all start looking like a young VP.

Splendid evening, of two halves, They were pale and mature; and then they were baga-dark and baga-hollowness. Very very splendid were the 1926 and 1970.

Several of those absent, MJRM CPR JDF, sent their bottles despite owners’ absence: thank you kindly.

My TNs posted: others, please do likewise (mutatis mutandis).

I agree with Julian that this was a very excellent evening, not least due to the generosity of all those involved, even where they could not make it on the night.
