Making decanter labels for my four. Alex: do you need likewise? Charles?
Too late: I’m done with that task.

Opened 21:45. Bottle top covered with a coffee filter, to keep out insects.
Good quality recorking by the Symingtons.

Beautiful, and the proper size for a GC77.

Sound like you need to bury the bodies, not leave them in your cellar.
Obviously there should also be a "Bottle top covered with muslin" bottle for comparison, also.
Sadly no chance for last-minute attendance this evening.

Magnum opened at 00.00 and decanted at 11.30. All freehand decanted, then one portion untouched, one through muslin, one through coffee filter paper and one through s/s coffee filter.

Apologies all that I have had to drop out of today’s tasting on account of family circumstances but hopefully I should be available again for the next one. Enjoy!

I'll likely get to the B&F for 1845-ish
