My bottle single decanted at 6.30am. All seemed in order. Expected arrival time of 6.30pm.

Held off putting my name down for this but can my name be added please.

Thanks

Yes-I'm still in. It looks like the three of us unless anyone else wants to join us.

Opened before watching a good night for the Brits at the Olympics. No label but Oporto bottled from the selo. Decant time 3 hrs, 50% opaque, slightly spirity at first but quickly developed into a lovely mature VP with soft red fruits and a shortish but rewarding finish. Certainly the best S70 I have...

VZ for me also. In terms of the others still to be determined, I go back to my first post regarding Krohn and agree with Glenn that Kr sounds more 'natural' than any of the other alternatives (I would also disagree regarding Krohn's lack of presence in the UK-it's been a regular fixture in two wine ...

Agree with Phil regarding the Ck and VC. Is there any reason why Krohn isn't Kr?

Starts a week Tuesday (9 August) which is when I intend going if anyone is interested?

I could do the Tuesday (but not the Wednesday).

Maybe not, as I now recall that a Noval vertical was also mooted...

Alex's recollection is complete and some panic did ensue regarding the lack of tastings penciled in for the rest of the year. Should also put a word in for this blessed GC vertical that is still on the stocks... For SW, I could offer 70, 77 (mags or standard), 80, 83, 85, 91 and 94 For mags from '77...

A heinous suggestion-Port can be drunk even when there isn't an 'r' in the month

I'm in!

Not ideal but W62 LBV decanted at 7am this morning. Pretty mature but hopefully not completely over the top. Should be there by 6.30pm.

I can confirm that Alun is bringing a 1978 Barros Colheita (bottled in 2011 I believe).

Just returned from hols and yes I am thirsty thus this works a treat. I will bring a 1977 Quinta do Infantado Colheita; This was bottled in 1986 thus any thoughts on when to open / decant? Charles, likely to be a bit musty if my experience of other such bottles is anything to go by and so suggest o...

I have a guest for Weds if that's ok? It's Alun (AJH-lefty), who's attended before. Will advise what he's bringing as soon as I can but likely to be a colheita.

I'm in for this. Any theme is good for me although it's a pity that we can't hold the GC vertical on this night especially if we have the anticipated guest...

minded to cross post it on FTLOP and see if any of the UK based posters (or lurkers) would like to join us next week. Link to :ftlop2014: t=39728 . I've taken a look at my stock list and decided that I will bring a bottle of Dow 1962 LBV (bottled 1966). Anybody else ready to reveal? I have a Warre ...

Happy with the 'Anything but vintage' theme and have some brown sticky stuff, a bit of crusted and one or two LBVs that could be deployed.

I have secured a ticket for the Thursday and so fingers crossed I can actually attend this year!

I did confirm that I was in!

How about Wednesday 20th? At the Boot & Flogger unless anyone wants to try a new venue such as the Habit on Crutched Friars or The Cooperage in Greenwich (which is Ian Wright's current location). Works for me as does pretty much any day one would care to suggest-I getting the delirium tremens (...

Is anyone here watching the Euros? Most of us here should now be learning these words in preparation for the final stages...

Assume that members of will be attending on the Thursday?

Congratulations to 'the three wise men'!

That is at least some cheering news following this morning's in the UK.
