An anonymous little parcel arrived in the post today, containing three little miniature bottles - two of which appear to have been refilled from the last offline's better decanters.
To whoever sent them - Thankyou - Thankyou - Thankyou!

Tom,
Just as a matter of interest, when you have emptied out one of the miniatures, I would be very interested to know what the volume is that they hold. I am still looking for some way of being able to take decent port on a trip with me without it being shaken up and I wondered if a minuature bottle would hold less than 100 ml?
Thanks,
Alex

At first I thought the Chip Dry bottle was an intact miniature, as it had no writing on the outside.
Tackling it earlier this evening, I realised it had been refilled - it was certainly light, and a little cloudy, with aldehydes on the nose.
A remnant of past glory, it was probably a very good wine in it's day - but it's peak was a long time ago..
Wonderful to engage a wine that was made when my father was only at the planning stage!
- I'll tackle the other two tomorrow..

Thanking the cellar masters
Which I echo here. It couldn’t have been done without Tom’s cellar being opened to us.[url=http://www.theportforum.com/viewtopic.php?p=3936#3936]Here[/url] jdaw1 wrote:And I add, thank you to Tom and Derek for allowing us such bottles from their cellars.
