I am very grateful to the knowledgeable members of The Port Forum who allowed me to attend their recent tasting in London of the 1980, 1983 an 1985 vintage ports of the major shippers Fonseca, Taylor, Dow, Graham and Warre. I chose this one of their many meet-ups because these, unlike some of the more mature wines they meet to assess, are wines you can still get your hands on.
You can see the special mats the glasses are ranged on. F is for Fonseca, T for Taylor etc. This is a system recently...
