A single bottle from the wine department at Fortnum and Mason sometime in 1998 I think. £30.

Opened 0900, decanted 1400, back in bottle 1630.

nac

From a case of six purchased en primeur from Laithwaites in 97/98ish. Cost bugger all at the time.

Opened 0900, decanted 1400, back in bottle at 1630.

Noval and Agua Alta likely to be decanted early afternoon.
Aiming to give them 2-3 hours in the decanter

Unfortunately I can only do 9th now.

Neil, here are the ones that I have in my cellar. Some of them could be duplicates of what you and Alex have shown, but I assume you are using something like an Excel Pivot table to help you list everything and filter out duplicates... Mike - many thanks. Yes, doing a thing in Excel. Once it's a bi...

Alex - thanks. I'll incorporate all your stuff into the main list.

Already on the list, but possibly some extra "useful" info?

Yes please.

And that's it for this season. See you again in December!

There’s a list for Crusted, so makes sense to have one for Colheitas.

1 x Taylor Special Quinta 1947 (bottled by Corney & Barrow)

31/12 - two magnums of Cissac 2009 - showing well, but no rush

One of six bottles purchased via WineOwners in May 2021.
In neck. Good cork. Heavy sediment.
Decanted at 0930 on morning of tasting. QA sample good.
Back into bottle and Vac-U-Vined at 1100.

26/12 - two bottles of 2003 Grand Puy Lacoste that evaporated, so must have been OK, plus finished off various leftovers.

From same stash as two previous Forum notes. Acquired from Corney & Barrow a few years ago for sub £20 per bottle. Pink wax capsule and cork both clearly labelled Offley Boa Vista 1950 & Harvey's of Bristol. This bottle was leaking so was stood up a couple of years ago. Mid shoulder, opened ...

User SteveO seems rather optimistic on values, and has listed his Krohn Colheitas as Vintage Ports. (It's entirely possible that the latter problem is a limitation of the site. The former, however...) There’s definitely a tendency for users to list too high on these type of platforms. I suspect the...

A new consumer-to-consumer wine selling platform - https://squelch.wine/

I've listed a few bottles, sold one, and purchased a couple. All seems to work quite well.

There's even some VP listed (not mine).

Nice things over the last few days:
Murrieta Castillo Ygay Grand Reserva Especial 2004 - lovely but cork was a disaster; exploded into a million pieces
Leoville Las Case 2003 - yum
Vougeraie Gevrey Chambertin “La Justice” 2008 - double yum

Now starting to consider what to have Xmas Day.

Should we all open an extra Symington ’85?

Think the only others are QH (of which I have none) and GC (of which I have some).
Should have thought about this sooner and offered samples.
