Re: The 1980s & quality

Getting back on topic, two more (that I don’t believe have been mentioned thus far) to add to the 80s pantheon:

the too rarely seen Ni80 and the RP82 (which I think is better than the 83)

Righto, I may still purchase a couple of bottles for potential use later

Re: Tuesday 11th October - Bring-a-Bottle

Am assuming that this is still going ahead? I can’t match a RV31 but will try and dig out a Cr55, which I found again the other day.

I also notice that ND John in Swansea has the TV 2008 and so if we wish to undertake a further comparison, I’m due to be in Swansea in a couple of weeks time and so could pick one up then if required?

Doggett wrote: 17:52 Wed 28 Sep 2022 I have just noticed the 23rd would mark the interesting palindromic date mark of 23022023.

EDIT : or maybe I am an idiot and we need to wait nine years for that to work 😂
I seem to recall 18/11/81 -not only palindromic but the same inverted!

Either date in Feb works for me.

Re: Crusted, Tue 20 Sep 2022, B&F

I was potentially looking to have to drop out of this tasting on the grounds that I’ve a lot going on and am unlikely to be there much before 7.30pm. However, given there have already been a few recent drop-outs, I won’t add to them but, as I say, my eta will be about 7.30 and so if someone would en...

Please reveal.
I am intending bringing a T64. Also noticed that I have finally joined the "1000 club'-only taken me near enough 10 years!

Df66 single decanted at 1pm (couldn’t locate a suitable cork bagging bag and so not double decanted). Looking rather tertiary but not taste tested. ETA 6.30pm ish.

Way to go Justin-sounds as though you cleared the shelves!
