Was I that bad? My apologies to everyone

I, at least, would prefer to be corrected!

I'm slowly learning Portuguese via Duolingo, but unfortunately it is Brazilian and not continental. I know some of the "rules" to switch between the two, but far from all of them.

Combine that with what I'm sure is a very thick American accent, and I suspect my Portuguese is probably difficult to understand under the best of circumstances!

Perfectly timed Facebook memory from 2019, given one of the topics yesterday!

That's one hell of a lineup.

Absolutely!

I need to get a 6-pack or so of the 2015 Quinta dos Malvedos to add to future verticals.

I probably don't need 2 full cases of 2021 Stone Terraces, but if I can find them I'll certainly buy them! That's what I picked up of 2016 and 2017, not counting the tregnums. I ultimately bought a total of 2 cases of 2011, but have drunk 6 (?) of those already so have the fewest left of that vintage. And no tregnums because - silly Symingtons! - they didn't bottle any in 2011.

Full marks for referring to the big bottles of 2016 and 2107 of Stone Terraces as tregnums. You are absolutely correct.

And while there are no Tappit Hens of 2011 Stone Terraces, it does no harm to remind the world that there are three Tappit Hens of Vesuvio 2011 in the world.

I just read the linked thread on the '11 Vesuvio Tappit Hens. Have you opened one yet?

Not yet. It feels a bit too early.

Even though most wine sites probably use the terms interchangeably, I tend to use tregnum for 2.25 liter standard shape bottles and Tappit Hen for everything else in that volume range, but especially dumpy/squat bottles seeing as that shape is where the name came from, and also those rare 2.1 liter bottles even if standard shape.

They must at least get to 21 surely!?
