I'm on the food order - so am assuming I'm in, though I'm not on first post or the placemats yet.

If you turn up there will be Port and there will be food. Anything more and you’re being fussy.

See you tomorrow.

It’s not unknown for changes to happen late. Please print in the afternoon, ideally late afternoon.

Bomfim, Delaforce, Eira Velha & Smith Woodhouse (for WS) all decanted in the past hour, and all looking good.

It is possible that these placemats will appear in the second edition of the book, on the equivalent of the first edition’s pp607–8. Hence, even more than usual, checking would be particularly welcomed.

The GM92 is now at the B&F and will be decanted in the morning once settled. Due to confusion between deliveror and recipient the decanter may bear the erroneous label 'Graham 1994'.

Churchill Agua Alta 1992 decanted 21;00, and seemingly fine.

Only one potential minor issue - you have the GM92 in the ring/line text as "Graham Quinta dos Malvedos", whereas I believe (unless or bottle for tomorrow shows different on the label) that the bottles up to 1996 were "Graham('s) Malvedos" and only "Graham('s) Quinta dos Malvedos" from 1998 onward. It is of course possible that more recent labeling could have broken from what I have seen used previously.
That was the only thing I could find.

Quite right. Thank you. Indeed, given this and this picture, it’s going to be called Graham Malvedos (I never use the possessive).

My bottles were double decanted approx. 2100 last night.

I'll be doing the printing at 1500 today, so any changes before then please.

I’m probably going to be late tonight, plumbing in a replacement sink into a granite worktop has proven a little more difficult than anticipated when we were sold the replacement as “absolutely identical footprint so will just drop into the existing hole”. It didn’t. Granite is hard to cut.
