With the wonderful BFT 2023 fast approaching I realise that I failed terribly at my homework from Alex - write a tasting note of some kindly provided samples for volunteering. I did do it - just forgot to post. Better late than never? Tasted 11/06/22 - 60ml sample Dark cloudy amber and some sediment...

Re: Mon 24th April - Bring a Bottle
The ring of the T70 shows 63. Otherwise, I have cross checked and it all seems good.

Currently away and unsure what I will bring just yet.
For food, please may I have mackerel for starter and chicken + lentils for main.

2015 Krohn LBV
Believed to be filtered (but with a driven cork) - nothing on the label to say. Decanted anyways and first concerns arose when a strong vodka smell whifted over. +1hr Still quite a spirit nose, not terribly fruity either. Taste is equally spirity and a bit cloying. Light blackberry and chocolate not...

Re: Tuke Holdsworth vertical (? TBC perhaps 21st Nov 2023)
So far we have expressions of interest from 10 people (possibly 12), but only five vintages. That number might yet increase (THRA?) but if not then we might need to expand the criteria, perhaps by including other Hunt Roope and Co produced brands from the same period (such as the Eira Vehla '43 and...

Re: Anyone interested in a Six Grapes Tasting?
I would love a Six Grapes tasting. I would also love to do this.winesecretary wrote: ↑21:54 Sun 12 Mar 2023 Have we done in the past decade a 'basic port tasting'?
With the bar being set at current retail of say 16 quid?
It might not be massively enjoyable but it would be illuminating.
I would equally love any Port tating.
I'm in.

Let's see how this goes tomorrow. The YouTube Live stream (famous last words) should go smoothly. The two way feedback may be trickier.
For start time, if you're in place for 6:30 Ian, we should all be pretty happy.

Let's go for the usual 5;30 for 6;00pm kick-off. Stream to start at 6;15 to properly commence at 6;30pm. 15mins is enough to battle techinical difficulties... right?

Re: 1985 Fonseca
I should clarify that faulty here is that the bottle had a minor leak. The wine was completely ok.
