On Friday 15th May 2009 jdaw1 had been invited to speak to the class of culinary-skills teacher JohninNYC, that class being at The Art Institute of New York City. Links:

• Review of the events as a whole;
• Placemats (omitting the OBV95 as that was bought too late to be claimed on the expenses);
• Churchill Vintage Character;
• 10Y Churchill tawny;
• 20Y Rainha Santa tawny;
• 2003 Noval LBV;
• 2001 Churchill LBV;
• 1995 Offley Boa Vista;
• 1980 Gould Campbell.

Lots of stewed fruit. Interesting contrast to the Churchill LBV which was all fresher fruit. One student thought apple compote (Red Delicious, he said); I found lots of compote but not the apple. Is currant compote allowed? If dressed with lots of sweet spice?

Actually, a rather good unfiltered LBV.

Do you think this is one which could cellar for 10 years?

Not sure I can judge the whole 10 years with an LBV, but at $28 jolly good value.
