Re: Blind Fun - 11th March

Bottle decanted at 1205. Fill level great, colour great, nose...nose...hmmmm. Not convinced. It may pull itself together for this evening, nevertheless a backup bottle has been decanted, which appears to be tip top.

See you just after 5 5.30.

Re: Aged LBVs - Tue 5 March 2024 @ B&F - ALIVE AGAIN!

Hmmm. I have a lunch on the 5th, so technically I am available in the evening. Still have the T84LBV mag. Excellent. Will assume you're coming then. Doh. I have now discovered that my lunch planned for the 5th, is in fact dinner, so I will need to back out of the LBV tasting. If my bottle is dearly...
