A most excellent evening. Thank you Tom for hosting and to your team for their hospitality.
My rather brief notes suggest I enjoyed the F48, G48 and the S00(1900). I can't remember the bottles subsequently opened (1871?) but thank you to those who brought them. And again, thank you Tom for the superb cellar dash.

I thought of you all piling into the taxi back to the Cricketers as I finished work and shut down the computer about the same time. I hope you had a splendid evening, and sorry again not to be able to attend.
We did think of you and toast absent friends during the evening.

I thought I would post the WotN sheet, although there were 3 further wines opened. These were bottles of Quinta de Loureiro 1871, (probably) Dow Crusted bottled 1986 and a magnificent bottle of Graham 1963.

Alex, would you mind posting what the top three wines are? I can't make it out from the image.
Sounds like a great evening was had!

Graham 48 just beat the Fonseca 48 (both fabulous) with Dow 55 a distant 3rd
