Being a 1993 vintage and given how highly we all speak of this year

I'm not rich enough to spend a wallop on a sub-sub-par wine just because it's a rarity (looking at you, Liceiras 1993)
I thought it strange people would ask for this tasting - but here we are anyways. Unfortunately there's not many bottles from this year so the theme is
Bring a bottle from 1993
Date - 10th October 2023
Venue - Boot and Flogger
Bottles
1993 Barros LBV - ZDR 1993 Cockburn Anno LBV-AJH adopted from ZDR 1993 Royal Tokaji Mézes Mály Aszú (50cl)- FRCLG adopted from ZDR 1993 D'Oliveiras Bual, bottled 2016 - GEAG 1993 Montilla Moriles - TC 1993 Grand Listrac Selection, Magnum - NAC 1993 Querbach, Oestricher Lenchen Riesling Spatlese Halbtrocken - NAC 30YO Calem - MPM 30YO Dow - CPR 30YO Quinta do Mourao - IDJ
Who's in?
Attendees

But alas, I'll be unable to attend.

Wonderful. Non-port is accepted. Non-fortified is even accepted.

So long as you can say there's some 93 in it (or provide a entertaining enough lie) yes.

I'm planning on bring
1993, Remi Rollin, Pernand Vergelesses, Magnum
1993, Louis Jadot, Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Les Boudots, Magnum
there is a little risk with Red Burgundy of this age but hopefully they will be fun as they are in Mag.

My only 1993 is German - Querbach, Oestricher Lenchen Riesling Spatlese Halbtrocken - so will bring that. Don't have high hopes.
I did have a magnum of 1993 Bordeaux (Grand Listrac) but previously donated it to Zak...

Excellent! Will still bring the German though - probably well past drinking date...

I know this is going to sound like a lame excuse but I now have an oak frame barn (!!) being delivered on the 9th and 10th so I'm going to have to pull out of this one ... have a fun evening in the mean time.
