BBR VP Tasting-Wednesday 2 February 2022

[benread]

Ben - I don’t recall seeing producer seals or producer branding on any BBR bottles I’ve opened previously. The cork on my 1997 didn’t refer to the shipper.

I've kept the seal and will bring it along.

Just downloaded to print & still has 75 as GC. Is this the most recent version?

I'm aiming to be at 67PM from about 1700 if anyone wants to meet for a pre-match refreshment.

That’s sounds very nice and needed as I am seemingly having a journey from hell. Hope to be in the area by then.

Will probably be at the bar upstairs.

BBR doors will open from 5.30pm, if anyone wants to get there earlier (and assist with the available pre-pours).

BBR 66 decanted at 1.15pm. All looking good.

Paperwork printed. I'll drop it in at BBR as early as I can.

1963 decanted at 16.00. Looking and smelling fine.

[idj123]

I can advise the following decant times:
1980-11am
1985-11.30am
1991-11.30am
2000-11.30am

And 1960 (yes, 1960!) TBC
