When will there be good news? Now, that's when...

'2007 is the first widely declared Port vintage since 2003. Reception for the vintage appears to be strong. The fact is that the quantities produced are tiny, there is a world market for them, and there is simply no substitute for a great bottle of Vintage Port. There is little doubt that 2007 is a high class vintage. The 2007s have plenty of flesh and succulence which will make them approachable early on. The best have impeccable balance and elegance with enough underlying structure to age for 20-40 years. Whether they will rival the wines of 1994, 1985, 1977, 1970, and 1963 remains to be seen but the chances seem excellent.' - Jay Miller, Wine Advocate, 27 February 2010 (JM)

Today we shiver in the sting of the winter's tail, but today is the day we take delivery of the wonderful 2007 vintage ports. And today is the day you can taste them for free. So, if you have bought them as futures and want to see what you'll be drinking, or if you are just curious to see why Jay Miller, Neal Martin and James Suckling all love them to bits, then pop in this afternoon. And if you owe your 2007 godchild a case, then you can make good on your debt and buy some. /CW
