I would struggle to make this after the tasting of TTF the week before, so I will need to drop out unfortunately.

By myself.

Alone.

I have just noticed the 23rd would mark the interesting palindromic date mark of 23022023.

EDIT : or maybe I am an idiot and we need to wait nine years for that to work

I think I could make either of those Feb 23 dates and still have a ‘normal’ W70 to offer up if required.

Aldi have just added the 2017 Fletchers LBV to the shop shelves at £9.99

Considering the packaging etc, if the juice is proportionally better than the 50YO then it IS a bargain… in relative terms.

Wish I could, but not able to.

Welcome Ben… you are going to fit right in! Sign yourself up for a tasting a continue down the rabbit hole!

Definitely interested, but would depend on date. I think I would also need to adopt as I don’t think I have any ‘83s but will double check.

Is it possible to get the batting order and confirm if I should bring the ‘99, ‘01 or neither and adopt? Preference would be either of the bottles I have.

We are a funny bunch. We spend a lot of time saying how Port is underpriced and undervalued as one of the worlds great wines, and this is still said despite any recent increases in pricing. But, when there is a movement in the pricing relating to Port to move it towards the pricing for other quality...

Thanks Phil. My research prior to posing the question was poor. So to reinforce that poor level of research, I pose another question. Is there any evidence of the new King liking Port or what his tipple is? Jdaw will obviously be writing to see he if he would join us at the Boot and Flogger in the c...

With the sad passing of the Queen, meaning we have a new King, I was wondering if Royal Warrants transfer automatically or if each retailer and brand that holds one will need to apply to see if they will be required by King Charles. Anyone know?

I am just wondering why you don’t weigh them as soon as you have them physically to give you a base measurement. Starting at 18 years seems like it may miss being able to spot a trend of loss at an earlier point. Or is that being completely silly?

Yes please

Late 2023 sounds good to me… may have to adopt or contribute but have time to find something appropriate.

I am afraid I will need to drop out of this one. We have had to open up some closed days in the more seasonal
Months for the B&B to keep the lights on

Sorry…would very much like to as I am well past emergency status, but the silly season does not allow. Enjoy!

Is there an emoji for uncontrollable dribble?!

Great video Axel. Need to look out for a Croft 2003 and 2003 in general in about 30 years. Some interesting insights from Dirk and David. I look forward to more video content from you soon.

After two weeks of all-inclusive in Andalusia, where the choice of wine was red/rose/white and delivered via a tap, thought I'd open something nice on return to home... Domaine de la Vougeraie, Bonnes Mares Grand Cru, 2002. One of twelve bottles obtained en primeur from Laithwaites in 2004 (for sig...

Yes please.

Best physical award award?

Yes please… sounds fun.

Anybody have anything to admit??
