Re: 1957 Graham

Interestingly, the typeface is different on the labels in each of Alex’s, Glenn’s and Phil’s GM68 and G48. Best seen by looking at the serif on the bottom of the H of Graham’s. On Alex’s pic, the serif is fat. On Glenn’s it is thin. On Phil’s G48 and GM68 it is thin with a curvature on the bottom o...

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.
