W. & J. Graham's

Vintage Port Blend 1977

[8 hour decant] This shows some cinnamon spice notes on the palate, aromas are pretty muted, maybe some faint nutmeg, decent weight, this ‘77 Grahams has always been an enigma for me (though never on the level of ‘77 Fonseca or Taylor) through 8-10 bottles over the years, this being one of the better bottles, pretty good! — 8 days ago

Jermann

Vintage Tunina Venezia Giulia White Blend 2010

The color concerned me, but this was still going strong. Just enough acidity.
Friuli field blend of Sauv Blanc, Chard, Ribolla Gialla, Malvasia and Picolit. Fingers crossed that my 2006 will show as well!

Fonseca

Vintage Port Blend 2007

Given my "too early" assessment in 2021, I decanted this bottle 6 hours in advance. Beautiful nose of purple fruit / violets. Early drinking window. Good balance. Not spectacular but solid. For my palate this will be the best in the coming 5-10 years when the fruit is still notably present. — 12 days ago

Vintage Champagne Blend 2015

First time trying the 2015 vintage and loved it! Powerful Champagne thats good on its own but will hold up excellently with food. One of my favourite Champagne houses that offers amazing QPR — a month ago

Château Léoville-Las Cases

Grand Vin de Leoville du Marquis de las Cases Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 1982

Medium ruby garnet, still quite young looking , garnet rim . Quite sweet sous bois , with some spice , cedar and earthy cigar notes , almost liquorice hint. Touch smoky on the palate , with a more roasted red fruit hint on the palate . Quite rounded sweet tannin , balanced acidity and ok length . This is at the end of its drinking window apparently, still showing ok , and held up quite well in the glass , shows quite a lot of the warmth of the vintage . It reminded me of the 1990 in that respect, though is overall more complex and longer on the palate than that vintage . Drink now and over the next few years , I don’t see this improving from here. — 10 days ago

The Fonseca bottle was gone in no time so we opened another 2007 from my cellar.I love the more feminine, elegant, ethereal style of Taylor's . Excellent bottle. Violets galore — 12 days ago
