If you need a monkey’s selection for the blind tasting in the absence of an AHB suggestion, then may I suggest Smith Woodhouse 1977 VP.

Since I don't think anyone has said what you drank last night as yet: I would have proposed Warre for the monkey's guess of shipper the to get better coverage of likely LBVs as well as possible VP; and while normally would have guessed '70 for decent mature VP, but with the mini-'70 horizontal in a couple of weeks likely biasing people's choices, I would have gone for '82 as there are a number of lesser-but-mature VPs and several LBVs from that year.

So, what did you guys drink last night?

I protest! I was actually upstairs with EAB at 19.00 grabbing a quick dinner before heading off to our appointment.

I sent JDAW a photograph of the monkey's guess. The monkey is not intelligent, guessing more or less at random. The monkey guessed that everyone would be bringing Quinta do Noval 1950.

The monket scored null points. Did anyone score more than the monkey?
