Love an Aussie tokay, I think they're called topaque or something now which sounds like a shade of paint

It was on Sebastian Horsley's flat in Meard St. It was once a brothel and he got tired of people ringing his bell at all hours, so to speak. Later, to bring in a bit of cash, he did rent it out during the day to a prostitute but kept the sign up.

Great producer. I used to buy its wines back in the 00s. I remember a Cuvee Grenat, or something, being particularly good.

Always used to enjoy this wine but too young. Would love to try a mature example.

"Not expensive for wines of this quality. While modern wines will last...vintage port is accessible at a younger age these days. Croft 2016 was already showing well."

Two important points--Port is underpriced at the upper level. And much more accessible lately.

It's a shame our new duty system means the cheaper stuff is now much more expensive.
