I would be in. Given the relatively low cost of wines from the year (compared with old verticals), perhaps this could be a pretty broad horizontal (2bt/person)?

Agreed. One drinkable and one horribly tainted with VA

A 1985 Horizontal soon does not preclude another 1985 Horizontal in eighteen months, or after, or before, or all three.
I’m in.

Splendid suggestion and reasoning.

Who is in?
Is this a preview of the horizontal I have planned for 2015 that you all are going to fly to Seattle to attend?
(Sitting at 24 confirmed bottles with 6 more expected.)
Hmmm. What time of year? If it is in UK school holidays and doesn't clash with our August plans I might enquire whether Elizabeth would enjoy a trip to Washington in 2015.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

If my schedule is the same in 2015 as it is for 2014, then early New Year would be very good... Before university term starts again...
