Minor correction - my 75''s are bottles, not halves.

I'm fine with suggestions to restrict range by date and/or no Roeda.

@JDAW - will send you bottle costs.

If we have sufficient bottles strong preference to focus on full declarations and omit Roeda

But, if we do include do Roeda, my spreadsheet alleges I have 1980 Roeda (and I know I have a half of 2005 Roeda).

Maybe a separate Roeda tasting idc?
I would agree with George and omit the CrR and focus on the full vintage for which I was going to suggest stopping at 2000. Hopefully, some of those still to show their hands have pre war vintages.

Does look like we have sufficient bottles to do a Roeda vertical. Maybe soon after the Croft?

We have a problem: the Red Room is booked on Tue 14th Nov. Ouch. So the date is being moved forward by one week, to Tuesday 7th November 2023, for which the Red Room is now booked. Force majeure, alas.

I would love to be added to the reserve list for this, have not tried many Croft vintages, but would need to adopt a bottle...

I can’t find the 2000, I have drunk my last 1963, but have the 1991 and 2011 ready and waiting.

New date done with me. Would avoid Roeda and keep to classics to see this amazing house changing over time

I now have a scheduling clash and may not be able to attend. If my place is required please make use of it.

Can potentially still provide some bottles if needed.

I believe that the list of acceptances correctly reflects thread. Time to advance the plot.

• For Tuesday 7th November 2023, please confirm or withdraw.

• Bottle offers have been sent from ZDR (Cr94); MC (Cr63, Cr16, CrR18); JDAW (CrR15), CPR (Cr50, Cr60, Cr70, Cr75, Cr77, CrR87, Cr03); and PW (Cr55, Cr60, Cr70). Others: please do likewise.

Confirming attendance. I think there have been a lot more bottle offers than those you’ve listed - see top post.

Can I bring the Cr00? Reluctant to take another Cr66 from the same tranche the bottle for the recent ‘66 vertical came from, as that one seemed overly mature.

Yes, and no. Lots of bottles offered, without prices. Only a few people have sent offers with numbers.

Yes, fine for this revised date. Will contact regarding bottle and pricing.
