[an extra 12 years in my cupboard] dark fruit, pipagao, chinese herbs, rich, unctious and layered, with freshness. Went perfect with choc rum cake. Amazing stuff!

d'Arenberg with Chester Osborn (Strand Cellars, Croydon): Aromas of rancio, saline, crushed walnut, toast, leather, a little fig, raisin, sweet spice, slight vanilla, cream. Juicy, saline, walnut (pickled says Chester), alcoholically warm, sweet and savoury spice, a little texture on the palate, fig, pleasant.

Consistently good. Like a 20 year old tawny port in style. Fruit, raisins, chocolate nuts. Very nice.

Another crumbly cork but a superb tawny. Fully of raisiny flavour, port like in the sense of a 20-30 year old tawny. Excellent again.

Reminds me of a 20 year old Tawny port.
