A most excellent evening. Thank you Tom for hosting and to your team for their hospitality.
My rather brief notes suggest I enjoyed the F48, G48 and the S00(1900). I can't remember the bottles subsequently opened (1871?) but thank you to those who brought them. And again, thank you Tom for the superb cellar dash.

We did think of you and toast absent friends during the evening.winesecretary wrote: ↑10:13 Fri 15 Dec 2023 I thought of you all piling into the taxi back to the Cricketers as I finished work and shut down the computer about the same time. I hope you had a splendid evening, and sorry again not to be able to attend.

I thought I would post the WotN sheet, although there were 3 further wines opened. These were bottles of Quinta de Loureiro 1871, (probably) Dow Crusted bottled 1986 and a magnificent bottle of Graham 1963.

Alex, would you mind posting what the top three wines are? I can't make it out from the image.
