Re: 1985 Horizontal - 16 March 2022
George,
I am so sorry, but I'm going to make the numbers problem worse and not better. Unfortunately I won't be able to make it on the 16th. I think I was in denial about how busy I was likely to be with the BFT, hoping against hope that I would be able to take an evening out of the frenetic preparations but that's not to be.
Apologies everyone, I won't be with you on the 16th.

Re: 1985 Horizontal - 16 March 2022
George - I might have a candidate. Shall I enquire?
Re: 1985 Horizontal - 16 March 2022
Ken G., is Go! On whose behalf I will bring W85 from an OWC, as yet unopened. Added to the placemats.

Alex, you will be very sad to hear that the case isn't Croft 85 but Calem 85 i can see.Alex Bridgeman wrote: ↑22:49 Sat 05 Mar 2022Please don’t. Croft 1985 is virtually undrinkable. We once sent back two bottles at one of Davy’s branches because it was pure VA.
Re: 1985 Horizontal - 16 March 2022
We already have a Cálem.

Hi All,
I’m Ken - jdaw1’s guest for next week, where I hope my lack of a refined palate, and lack of knowledge of port won’t be to much of an embarrassment to him!
Anyway, please may I order:

Main: medium rare steak, with chips and carrots
Thanks,
Ken

I've recently popped an SW85 - it was unimpressive for the first two days but then found composure, so a super long decant recommended..
