Re: May 23rd, 2024 - LBV - The Young Turks
Dear all, due to a last minute change I would not be able to make this until 8pm. Am very happy to cede my seat if there is interest from other quarters.

Re: 1978 Quarles Harris LBV
Brown, burnt fudge colour. Not so much ditchwater brown as Christmas cake brown. 2D chocolate current juice, the finish saying hello to the fully oxidised fluffy caramel era. A lot of oomph, albeit indicative of erstwhile greatness.

Re: 1979 Warre LBV
Soft, broad, plummy & creamy. Classic Warre brooding blue/red fruit, but not muted as it sometimes can be. Juicy cherry buns. Charming length and fruit complexity. So good.

Re: 1984 Smith Woodhouse LBV
That featherweight, clean, electric glossiness. Still good hints of maraschino and apricot, finish only just starting to peter out but overall still holding together. Excellent fun. A lot of vibrancy if not weight.

Re: 1995 Delaforce LBV
Minty brambles and damp hedgerow, very dry. By the end of the night became a muggy but pleasant drink, the brooding closed fruit showing itself a little more. Good heft to the palate.

Re: Aged LBVs - Thu 23 June @ B&F
I don’t have bottles meeting specification (oldest are Warre 2004, 2007, 2008). So please waitlist me, and if it doesn’t fill then I’ll adopt. There doesn't appear to be any mad rush for this one, so I've put you in with adoption of my Delaforce 1995. Memory failure: I do have Warre ʟʙᴠs from 1981,...
