Re: Latest buy
From checking the Mutuals Public Register it appears that the Wine Society were at Holles Street between August 1929 and October 1940, so it's probably a 1930s bottling. Cockburn’s Full Dry was in Wine Society catalogues, intermittently, from about March 1912, at 24/- per dozen (ten metric pennies ...

Re: Thursday 11th April - Decanting Experiment plus some drinkers
I went into this tasting dissmissing my friend’s silly hypothesis. because the act of decanting so mixes air into the liquid, I was confident that the extent of surface area — ship’s versus straight sided — would make no approximately difference.

Re: Tues 8th October - Old v New & Undisturbed
Of course I’d love to play. But I have not suitable 1994 bottles, and so acknowledge the possibility that I might therefore be deselected.
But I have interesting ’70s, so am clinging on.

Re: Thursday 11th April - Decanting Experiment plus some drinkers
Important : anybody bringing a decanter for this experiment, please ensure that it is clean and fresh. If it hasn’t been used in the last two-ish weeks, please re-rinse by filling with very hot water, and then dry, perhaps in sun and wind. Must be very dry, so do this task before the last moment. M...

Re: 1994s, B&F, Tue 26 Mar 2024
So let me ask a question. If I were to give you a bottle of Port to drink this weekend, with the producer chosen at random, which vintage would you prefer me to select from if I limit your choice to the 1980s or 1990s? • 1980 is part great, part absolutely not. • I’m not a fan of ’83. • 1985 has so...
