If you feel strongly you want to decant into a decanted ok but please bring the original bottle

Need to clarify…

Is your preference for these to just be double decanted OR to be decanted, left in decanter for X hours and then to go back into the original bottle?

If the latter what is the preference for the value of X?

I will be double decanting in the morning and taking the bottles into the office and then into the tasting. Your suggestion is definitely better but I am afraid not actually possible for me to do
Please just make a note of what you decide to do
Thanks

Please check carefully.
The Noval is coming from Martin (who has adopted it from me), not from George. Martin is also bringing an undisclosed bonus bottle.

Christopher is bringing the Bioma.
Believed fixed.

The Quarles Harris is coming from my cellar.

There’s a possible delay to me on the Thursday. Please, at the event for QE2’s 100th, could somebody take from me the QH11, and with it do the right thing two days later?

Ordinarily I would be able, but now already bringing 5 bottles on Thursday (2 x 2011 and 3 for Zak).

Why not bring on Tuesday and leave with the B&F, with decanting instructions?

Yes please, but not yet. Let the VC be found. Let other changes happen this evening — probability more than 25%. Pls print in the morning of tomorrow = Thursday 23rd.
