BBR doors will open from 5.30pm, if anyone wants to get there earlier (and assist with the available pre-pours).

Re: BBR VP Tasting-Wednesday 2 February 2022

Coreaction to my post above-I now see that Charles previously confirmed that he had a 2000 and so we are 13 bottles in total. Should we try to extend to the 2007? Confirming, I still have 77, 80 and 85 - sorry no 00 Ah, back to where we were then. Apologies for missing your subsequent update.

Re: BBR VP Tasting-Wednesday 2 February 2022

First post now edited to include proposed bottle allocations. The eagle-eyed among you will notice that we appear to be currently short of a 2000 and so if anyone has a bottle, this is the final call to come forward.
