Yes please, I have a Yeatman labelled 1992 believed to be Osborne.

Quite liked the spirals, flowers and crosshatching. Not sold on the stars but the bold defining of the main elements is good to my taste a la Flowers.

Personally on the latest iteration for the Rebello Valente tasting, I think the droplets detract from the classic nature of the placemat and is like a very light version of Pollock’s number 14. I am all for pimping up the mats but this one is not for me... thoughts?

I hope to be there by 16.30 to assist however I can.

I am afraid I will no longer be able to make this tasting. I hope Tom will be able to join you and have a bottle that will replace de mine.
I look forward to reading the notes on this interesting vintage comparison.

Yes please... I have a Sandeman ready for this one.

Edit: if DRT is not already sharing his... in which case I would hope to adopt please.

I am afraid I will have to miss out in this tasting yet again. A combination of proposed SWR industrial action that would scupper my travel and unknown as yet timings of some renovation works at the B&B mean that I am unable to commit. Apologies, but I hope one of the reserve list will now have a wo...

Great idea. Yes please, depending on the date.

Can I please abstain from food on this tasting. Unfortunately to be able to make the tasting I need to catch the train up from Weymouth in the afternoon and then travel back the same evening as I have a lot of bookings for breakfast the next day. My last train is 9pm from Waterloo so I will be leavi...

I bought it along as well as the Warre’s 74 LBV. and it was acquired as part of a private sale listed on TPF shortly before.

Out of interest, does anybody know who was the 69th producer registered with the IVDP?

Yes please... sorry for the tardy response.

The B&B shall be shut for this one... reconfirming please.

Welcome ECM... what a great introductory post. I am lucky enough to be facing the same challenge and have a room set aside for wine/port tasting, wine/port library and a general area to display bottles and other such items. I shall look forward to reading the replies. It would be good to hear about ...

Yes please. Have a Ck that I can bring.

Thank you for your kind words... there will indeed be some celebrating but probably of the tawny variety due to transit and not a full celebration until I have worked out poached and scrambled eggs!

I am both delighted and disappointed to have to withdraw from this one. The 2016 version of this was a wonderful tasting and I am gutted to no be able to compare with the 2017s, particularly with the back to back nature of the vintage declarations. But, I am delighted because we finally managed to e...

Would love to come to this but at this stage I would need to adopt.

How about semi blind and know the vintages

Tuesday 17th December? A special tasting to welcome in Christmas.

Depending on the date and location, yes please.

I had hoped beyond hope to try and attend this event at the last minute, but alas it is not to be. I hope the bottles are fine and you have a great evening.

Teasers then please.

Or a jeroboam of the Graham’s 1982 single harvest which should be enough to sate our thirst!

Is it a bottle that went missing from the cellar years ago... I can’t remember what it was but I think a 55 of some sort? Or a NN63 Mr Davy wanted us to enjoy?
