Just advance notice that Axel may not make it due to Lufthansa strike. Told him to man up and try to get the Thales/Eurostar combination to London... How hard can it be? Otherwise it maybe be booked so he is excused. Please if not already open do not open the Niepoort 63 in case Axel does not make i...

Let us open both please! DRT's suggestion should not be considered but ignored!

Hi, bought this Magnum quite a few years back and always wondered if it is genuine or fake. First was real Crusted Malvedos ever made? Bt looks genuine from the era and despite slightly glui wax level is still just i.n. and fine, bright clear red color. If anyone has any further ideas or information...

Hi,

apologies for the delay; I would like to have Welsh Rarebit (extra cheesy) as starter and Medium-rare Rib-eye steak with peppercorn sauce and skinny fries for main.

BTW my British passport arrived yesterday...

So the mission is now complete!

Phil ... can you please confirm you are coming? If so I will bring one of my few left Averys 63 as you wanted to try that. Wolfgang - that would me most excellent - thank you; I can now confirm my attendance. With Wolfgang bringing an Av63, I will in that case bring a T63 since it is our understand...

• There are many of us. Much as I’d like an Industry Guest, I also want us. So I’ve put WPS ahead of any putative guest.

A very good decision.

There might not be a guest. We might wear our own cufflinks.

Thank you!

My notes suggest that the '75 blossoms after a long decant. Have never seen a Cockburn '17.. agreed; stupid me drank up too early the sixpack of Ck 75 you let go after the Cockburns sale before Cockburns was sold to the Symmingtons... :roll: I do not think we should look out for a 17 but a 12 which...

I would be interested too, have a Ck 55, 60, 63, 67 and 94. Please put me down if there is still space.

Thank you all for the great evening! Having now become a British citizen I am looking forward to many more tastings. Also our experiment with the extra ordering of the Steaks paid off. I think we should do this again. Despite the Steaks were always good at the B&F this was a step up worth paying for...

I think to say the F60 needs drinking up is not correct as it is currently in such a nice "plateau" for drinking. Despite I agree taste wise it will not improve from here and it is in comparison to the 63, 66 and 70 a bit lighter in structure and finish in terms of complexity and fragrance of the po...

The F63 improved throughout the evening which indicates the port should have been opened and decanted much earlier. Aside the quite closed up and therefore restrained mouthfeel the excellent structure, complexity and flavor profile shows through. Ripe Cherry and spice flavors that make the port very...

The decant time was 4:30 AM after being opened the night before at 9:30PM. On your observation "a touch hollow mid-palate" I could agree with but I consider this rather a strength given it is still a port which is far to young. If I had not opened it so early you would have tasted rough edges you ca...

I should be able to make that, please put me down for this tasting. I would bring a Cockburn.

Hi, apologies for the delay. Can now confirm and thanks to the Mayor of Islington I am a British citizen! Bt missing will be a F66 that used to belong the Lord of Northampton. He got himself a pipe bottled of F66 and his son sold the remainder of the bts off. So me humble subject got some bts. If I ...

Hi Phil, Julian, I would like to have a Chateaubriand but not as muuuuhhhh (Black and blue) as you like. So you two seem to be a perfect match. :lol: Happy to share a Chateaubriand medium rare to rare. Sorry but my German roots come through here..... Maybe another attendee would like to share? Not h...

with regards to food I would like to share the Chateubriand with Phil and welsh rabbit for starters. As Port I will bring either Cockburns 55, Grahams 55 or Fonseca 66 whichever I find first!

Looking fwd to the event

The reason for my trip to London has now been brought forward so I will be down tomorrow rather than Thursday. Unfortunately this means I a unable to join you.Enjoy. I understand that there is a deadful train strike planned for Tuesday evening through to Thursday evening. You may, unfortunately, be...

It is with deep regret that I must decline to add my name to those inviting Mr Wolfgang Starz to celebrate his becoming a subject of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. This is partly due to the fact that my principles to do not allow me, in all good conscience, to celebrate a free man giving up his fr...
