Many thanks to Julian and Alex for organisation and to Martin for placemat printing. Great to see everyone, and enjoy your company! The scoring sheet quite correctly shows Vesuvio wiping the floor. Thanks to Anthony Symington for a fabulous magnum of the stuff. Overall, I was really quite disappoint...

Muslin cloth

I am about to order a new roll of unbleached muslin cloth from Nisbets. https://www.nisbets.co.uk/muslin-cloth-99cmx10m/dm056 If anyone else would like one, shout here. I’ll bring along to the next tasting we’re both at. It would be excellent were two more people to want a roll as shipping will then...

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.

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...
