Re: Mould under foil/on top of cork
I believe cellar mould is a form of penicillin and is essentially the same mould as you find on the skin of a white rinded soft cheese (like Camembert or Brie). It’s harmless and can be seen in some well reputed cellars to a spectacular degree. I don’t worry about cellar mould on my bottles or corks...

But São João is on June 23rd and some of us might not be in the UK.

Re: LBV - The Young Turks
I’m not crying or gnashing my teeth, but as I remarked earlier, my diary is rammed in April and May.
I can’t make any date in the week commencing 29 April.

For logistical reasons, Harry and I are swapping the 1994 and 1995. I'm now bringing the 1994.
Justin and I will probably arrive around 17.00-17.30 to help set up.

Re: LBV - The Young Turks
My diary is pretty full late April / early May.
Pop me on the reserves list for 25th April, just in case I can make it nearer the time.

Re: Aged LBVs - Tue 5 March 2024 @ B&F - ALIVE AGAIN!
I am unlikely to be able to attend on the new date, if I am able to it’s likely to be a last minute change of plans.
If plans change, I’ll just have to take the risk that a space comes available for me.

Re: Thoughts on LBVs
I’ve just opened a bottle of Sandeman 2007 LBV. While it’s nowhere near the age that Andy and Tom have been discussing, I can confirm that with 17 years of aging, this LBV is effing delicious!
