1963 Hedges and Butler Quinta do Noval, in magnum
Sample 3 of 4 very kindly sent to me by JDAW following the opening of 4 Magnums at the Tiddlywinks Dinner on 7th Feb 2009. Decanted at 1pm on that day. Delivered to me in 60ml bottles, each of which contained a significant amount of fine sediment, on 11th Feb and placed in the fridge at around 7pm where they have remained until around 23:00 on 21 Feb.

D+ 14 days and 10 hours, 10 days and 4 hours of which were spent in the fridge
Same as Sample 1 in every way. Not quite as good as Sample 4 and nowhere near as good as Sample 2.

Thank you, JDAW.

PS: These 4 Magnums were the siblings of the one used for this experiment.

Ahh, thank you for reminding me of this.

#3: in the evening, after a day that could evasively be described as ‟full”: nose softer and rounder than #4, and mouth also soft and round, but with some cranberry tartness.
