David, how was the 2003 showing?

Opened a bottle of '99 Sandeman 'Vau Vintage' over the Easter weekend - it was drinking very nicely thank you very much and is a bargain to boot.

A bottle of Taylor 1966 as my contribution to an eighteen bottle 1966 horizontal. Sadly, it was one of the poorest bottles of T66 that I have drunk. Never mind, it happens.

When decanting, where there any signs that this bottle might have been compromised?

No signs at all. Good fill, sound cork, good colour, looked OK going into the decanter. Just was well out of balance and far too acidic when drunk.

1977 Porto Rocha Colheita. I only have a couple of bottles of this stuff left, and it's still amazing.

Good. A solid port, but not anything special. Very nice for daily drinking. Still a bit young and could use 10 more years.

Roriz 1995 - first time I've tried this and it's very nice; lots of fruit and a nice balance. Better than I was expecting.

Small group coming over tonight...so I've decanted a

1985, 1987, 1995 & 1997 Souza VPs and a 1997 Niepoort (started leaking recently---actually as shipped a few weeks ago; fill level nearly identical to sister bottle---tasted fine upon opening)

Dow's Colheita 2002. After drinking various 20/30-year-olds in a row this tastes too young.
