Re: 1977's - Tue 11th June 2024
Yes and ‘M’ is on the bottle list but not the placemats as far as I can see. Possibly because we don't know what 'M' is? It might be Morgan (Mg), Martinez (Mz), Martha (Mt), Mackenzie (Mk), Messias (Ms) or possibly something else; Martin? Are you hypothesising Mackenzie 1977 and Martinez 1977 befor...

Re: May 23rd, 2024 - LBV - The Young Turks
I am bringing two extra people, Rachel M. and Kyleigh L., met recently (as in, four hours ago) at a Spanish tasting.

In a recent Dr Who episode they returned to June 2024, and behold screen grab. The Time Lords knew that this was going to happen.
Luckily, the stairs at the B&F are Dalek-proof.

When it’s about ready, pls make a list of shippers in attendance, so that placemats can be made.

Re: 1997 Graham
G97, opened previous day then decanted 08:00. Dark dark dark red, 90% opaque. Palate had mint and dark cherries, with heat. Not in a good balance — more cellar time needed.

Re: 1994 Graham
G94: dark dark red, 90% opaque. Light, hollow mid-palate; dark plum fruit, ending pleasingly dark-fruited and sweet. But junior to what it should be.

Re: 1985 Graham
G85: opened 19:30 previous day, decanted 07:30 that morning. glorious red, 50% opaque. Showed very well, mid weight, with lots of lovely red fruit. Not huge. Junior to the TFP’s big-two 1985s. Nonetheless, I liked this a lot.

Re: 1983 Graham
G83: a sillier colour than the G80 — dark dark dark red, 90% opaque. Notes were becoming brief: very vey dry mid-palate, then faint ending.

G77: red-pink, 30% opaque. Nose had maraschino cherries. Different to all older bottles: intensely maraschino, with slight spearmint. The contrast in style was very great.

Re: 1966 Graham
G66: glorious red, 30% opaque. Sub-par — light, bitter, a hint of red fruit, and cherries late. A shame, as others from this batch have been excellent.
