Fonseca

Guimaraens Vintage Port Blend 1997

Victor Hsu

9.2

Rich and mouthfilling, grapey but not raisiny, dark fruits and subtle spice, delightful nose advertising the flavors to come, a tad bit of alcohol on the finish but that’s my fault—I was so eager to drink this beauty that I chose not to decant first. I had the 1995 vintage and it tasted amazingly fresh for a 26-year old bottle. Paired with a flavorful French blue, Fourme d’Ambert, and a Welsh Cheddar, with good bread, toasted walnuts and fig preserves. Bliss. — 3 years ago

Woodlands

Alma May Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

Bob McDonald

9.7

Wine No. 8 in the field of 8 Cabernets from the 2009 vintage tasted blind and it proved to be the consensus Winner by a narrow margin over the Les Forts. I loved this and the Palmer 8 years ago at the Cape Mentelle tasting and they remain stunning wines. A wonderful perfume of red flowers, plums, and earth. Medium to Full Bodied with great length. Two of the tasters, long time wine professional, Ken Gargett and Dr Mark Welsh ( head of the Chevaliers in Australia) each gave this wine 98 points. This was Margaret River at its best. Bravo Woodlands and the Watson Family!! — 4 years ago

I still have to post some random wines brought by the guests - some of which were stellar. Me being the host provided the 8 Cabernets tasted blind.

Concha y Toro

Diablo Dark Red Blend

The welsh would call it Lush - it’s full of great flavour and is deep in currants and vanilla overtones.
Good legs and stands out. Impressed. — 2 years ago

Blackberry rambles, country lanes. This Welsh wonder took me out to Septembers in my youth, with the aromas of rip fruit. Smooth, easy drinking, just what the doctor ordered. — 3 years ago

That's correct. The English call it chateauneuf de Peppa pig.
