Re: May 23rd, 2024 - LBV - The Young Turks
We are of this moment, I think, with Zak unable to make it, only nine strong; so great opportunity to bring friends and relatives..

Re: May 23rd, 2024 - LBV - The Young Turks
They promised to email me the new menu when I made the booking, but that never materialised. Last night's fare looked largely unchanged from before.Did they make menu changes in the end? I was holding off after the previous post in this thread. Will take a look and confirm shortly.

Re: 2022 Declarations
So the Symingtons issued an elegant press release on their website and Taylor Fladgate used Facebook..
..which I can't find
There does seem to be a Canadian called Taylor Fladgate with an FB page though!

Re: May 23rd, 2024 - LBV - The Young Turks
OK - May 23rd it is. Red room booked.
I gather a new menu is being launched this spring, so hold fire on choices until we can see what they now are.

Re: LBV - The Young Turks
Have checked with the B&F, Thurs May 2nd or Thurs May 23rd are both free. As later dates seem problematic until the end of June, let's go for one of these two.
May 2nd has two down and one sub par - how does the 23rd pan out as an alternative?

Re: LBV - The Young Turks
I doubt there's any week that will suit everyone, and only Charles seems to have a problem with w/c 29th April.
Unless there's crying and gnashing of teeth in the next 24hrs, I propose to email the B&F to see if the Red Room is free on Tues April 30th.

Re: Thoughts on LBVs
I feel like this was the same with more recent Sandeman LBVs that I've tried - massive tannic beasts that really need time to age rather than being blended for drinking on release. My purchase strategy for LBVs is focused on those I think will age the best. Warre currently gets top billing by virtu...

Re: Thoughts on LBVs
Unfiltered LBV’s can be very delicious and can generally age nicely for a couple decades. I do find they tend to start losing their luster after about 20-25 yrs. They’re still good but they tend not to have the complexity to carry them into very old age. Of course there are exceptions, I’m speaking...

Re: LBV - The Young Turks
Yes please, although I might suggest smaller range of years and more producers? So maybe ditch the 2019 vintage and go for flights of eight?
