Re: May 23rd, 2024 - LBV - The Young Turks

Absolutely - new faces very welcome Err…shouldn’t we go to the reserve list firstly-or has this been exhausted? I ...

Re: Graham, Tue 14 May 2024
thank you for this, very interesting the scores of the G60.
not surprised by the 83 for the younger than 80 scores, thought that the 97 might have done a little better.

Flight 5 20240224_114428.jpg Sandeman 1911 – Tregnum An interesting nice port. This was a little cooked and dry. I believe this was over decanted and would have loved to tried it, pop and pour. This had been decanted for over 4 hours at this point of trying. I did have a second glass from the decan...

Took time in the glass but the balance came through. A lovely start to the flight. Was a little surprised this was 1960 was tasting young. H...

Thursday 11th April - Decanting Experiment plus some drinkers
After some crazy planning and 2 trips to the Boot & Flogger, to deliver bottles and then more bottles and decanters, somehow I got them there all safely. There was a little Julian and Harry debate on which bottles to open and which decanters, Martin was the peacekeeper. The poor placemats didn’t...

Re: Thursday 11th April - Decanting Experiment plus some drinkers
Apologies but I will now be tied up with a new business proposal and so, won’t be able to attend the lunchtime part of this tasting but should still be able to make the evening if that can be accommodated? Assuming so, I will have my new usual: Welsh Rarebit Steak (M/R) fries and carrots with peppe...
