    February 24, 2024 - MAGNUM Vintage Port (CUT restaurant Beverly Hills): Out of magnum and the second wine of the flight. Really a bright color, wonderful taste and finish.sweet spice, opulent.

    December 27, 2023 - Very special 53 year-old port. Definitely old and evolved: now a tawny rose colour and all the tannins have dropped out. Syrupy with rose petal, raspberry, redcurrant, and orange fruit. It lasted until day 2, when it became nutty.

    December 8, 2023 - NLWTS - Fortified at M&L Warren Street (Must & Lees Warren Street): Almost brown! Not a tonne of sweetness. But really quite emphatic and pruney. I think this is lovely - if not the most vigorous. Showed less well than another G70 tasted ~2 weeks ago.

    December 8, 2023 - Fortified Evening with the TWS North London Group (Must & Lees, Warren Street): Quite clear, browning. Brown sugar and christmas cake, strongly acidic, low register fruit now. High-toned, sweet, svelte, little left of any richness it may once have had but quite finessed.
