Please don't make me ramble on and post some quotes from earlier this yearjdaw1 wrote:This thread is for rambling from both sides of the pond.
Use a decanter with a close-fitting stopper. Decant. Leave off the close-fitting stopper. Wait half an hour. Put on close-fitting stopper, hold it on firmly, and shake vigorously to mix in fresh air. Stand decanter further, again stopper-less. Good luck.AHB wrote:When and if I make it back, it looks like it might be a short or emergency decant of the Martinez 1985 that Brother Derek gave me a couple of weeks ago.

My suggestion is that you need to open both so that you can decide whether or not you need help from the powers that be.benread wrote:Should I open the Taylors LBV of my status or the Fonseca LBV (unfiltered) that I acquired in expectation of still being of the previous standing? The latter does of course appeal more.
In which case I would need to seek authority from the powers that be!

You are too kind! Have started on the Taylors LBV - 2002 (Bottled in 2007)jdaw1 wrote:Two bottles should last you till then. If you manage to delete three in eleven hours we'd be really impressed. Don’t eat though: food makes you sleepy. All calories from port — that’s the dieter’s motto.
