Pimlico wine vaults used to do a great 25 year old vintage port and indeed
the malt whisky society stock white port, but i had my eyes opened
when i recently went to lisbon and tasted what was available in
everyday supermarkets
however opus 1 is a different league from even the 25yo port, it was
something that bit different, that bit special something i will never
taste again, and yet mike has promised me a bottle in exchange for
several long calls to the USA on my mobile ;-)
