Re: Graham (or Malvedos) vertical, Tue 14 May 2024
My earlier sloppiness — I’m sorry. Really, this wasn’t a “foreigner” thing.
Likewise, I’ll concede to those who had booked flights in good faith.

Re: Quinta do Vesuvio in February 2024 - 6th Feb
I’ll order from what I choose to believe is on the menu:
• Soup of the day;
• Steak, mushroom, Claret pie, green beans, + carrots, + skinny fries;
• Bramdean pudding.

Re: Thoughts on LBVs
The Rozès 2013 ʟʙᴠ was slightly green; the Rz11ʟʙᴠ was soft in a way that was slightly flabby; the Rz09ʟʙᴠ was stunningly-good top-rank with slightly-Tayloresque presence and grit, and would have benefitted from more cellar time.

Re: Thoughts on LBVs
Excellent idea for a thread.
Over the season I had Rozès ʟʙᴠ 2009, 2011, and 2013, and this evening am having the 2014.

Re: Thoughts on LBVs
I'm thinking we should have a tasting event for aspiring LBV producers, from Barao de Vilar to Pacheca to Tecedeiras to Vista Alegre - maybe two dozen bottles, chosen for being less well known and shipped with driven corks. And for being available in the UK at a sensible price. I’m going to want bo...

Re: Wine Aerators
I entirely agree with your suggestion. Indeed it is a brilliant plan — magnum split three ways (gently, splash and shake, aerated). Please be encouraged to organise the tasting at which you have subtly hinted.
