oh dear...

Really enjoyed the Niepoorts.. I would like to buy the main vintage in big formats, normal formats and small formats. Many of each. It has the dense concentration that the whole vintage seems to have but the tannins are very fresh, and help to lighten what could easily become very jammy. Really deli...

Time to change hotel...?

Do you mean in terms of whether there is a perceptible difference between 4.05 and 4.35, for instance?

- Warre label probably not skew after all, just a consequence of lighting angles, (significant) aliasing only in smaller version I thought it was the Dow? Now that I'm looking at the original full-res image on my large desktop screen that one does indeed appear to be skew.. - Sequential selos What ...

You've got a few dummy bottles, a photo studio, two or three lamps and a photographer. Why would you spend thousands recreating a scene that takes an hour to set up and photograph in real life..?

..is the Quinta do Vesuvio. Or is the rightmost rightmost bottle perhaps cropped from the image..?

The Capela da Quinta do Vesuvio is missing. I presume that since the Stone Thingummy picture was sent separately, that these are just the main brands and not the top-end labels.

Oh that's nice. Fonseca LBV, yes, I'll drink (to) that.

This seems to be my 100th post. What am I now?

1977 Dow
Badly oxidised. Full note here.

2003 Pocas Director's Choice Vintage Port This was a welcome standby after the D77 proved to be duff. Bought two bottles in Weingalerie, Berlin, having read interesting recommendations. This was a lovely port after a short decant. A heavy nose, violets, lavender, my companion observed honey also. O...

Oh dear. Stood this up overnight to decant overnight. On going to open it, noticed some discolouration / staining on the top of the selo. Removing the foil, the top of the cork was badly crystallised and there were signs of much seepage. The cork broke into three. Decanting, this was very very pale ...

Yes I also promise. I see there is a Co-op Food near to my father's house and also (if that proves dry) one off Kingsway.

Page 147 of the script says 1814. I have a treat for you -- a very old Madeira -- 1814. There are only six bottles left in the world. I have two of them, and am negotiating for a third. Which explains my non-acquaintance with it. This leaves three bottles unaccounted for. I'm expecting a full repor...

Not Rathbone, Robert Stephens. The campest Holmes ever. He was married to Maggie Smith, and channels Miss Jean Brodie all the way through, as one of the people I was with pointed out...

Never seen a ’14 before. Are you sure it wasn’t 1815?

Thank you DRT. I was certain my memory was correct on this occasion.. Doesn't Mycroft say something about it dating from the year before Waterloo..?
