Presently, I can only offer a S47.

idj123 · Re: Tue 10 Nov 2026, blind mature SQVP Yes, works for me.

Yes, works for me.

idj123

The 83 and 97 both double decanted at 1pm today. The 34 was double decanted at 4pm, not long before I set off. Taste test suggested all ok with the 34 and 97. Maybe a question mark over the 83. All now being transported chilled with an ETA of just before 6pm.

My food order:

Starter Welsh Rarebit
Mains Bangers and mash with roasted carrots
Dessert TBD on the night

Thanks

idj123

Yes please sir! Will check on bottles.

idj123

Well that was interesting (and instructive)! Fonseca was the clear winner but the Dow, Vesuvio and Sentinels also good, as was the Smith. Bit underwhelmed by both the Graham and Noval and simply couldn’t make up my mind with regards the Warre. The Taylor felt a brooding beast, virtually inaccessible...

idj123

For me:
Starter Welsh Rarebit
Main Burger with cheese and bacon, fries and creamy sweetcorn
Dessert TBD on the night

Thanks

idj123

I am also popping along for this.

idj123

Hasn’t Mike (Flash) indicated (above) that he can’t make and so, Tony is in anyway and that we are at 14?

idj123

I appreciate that there have been a number of prospective tastings launched recently but following the triple vertical (SW/GC/QH), last week, I was impressed by the performance of the SW 70 (WS bottling) and in fact, I’ve always been impressed by the WS bottlings and wondered whether there might be ...

Rv?

Sorry, RV.

idj123

6th October good for me also.

idj123

I have already confirmed (said I could make both dates). In terms of perhaps more unusual 63s, I believe I can offer Ca, Fd and Rv.

idj123

Not sure, that I will have a bottle old enough but yes, I’m interested.

idj123

Yes, interest expressed from me. However,, I suspect that I will be looking in through the window and salivating!

idj123

No idea what my gateway Port was but I’m sure I can provide a representative example.

idj123

No idea what my gateway Port was but I’m sure I can provide a representative example.

idj123

Yes, that should work for me.

idj123

Yes, 16 June should work for me.

idj123

My bottles opened for an hour and then double decanted at 1.30pm today. ETA 5.50pm (est).

idj123

Yes, I’m up for this.

idj123

Very interesting and informative, Alex. I might do similar for the party we are holding for my wife’s birthday at the end of June. Also interesting that this was inspired by Vallado, who also supplied a bottle gratis. It perhaps suggests that they had confidence in their offering and were justified ...

idj123

I have 58, 60, 63, 66 and 70 and nothing else (save for 2011 and later).

idj123

Yes please, would like to think that I’ll still be available in 2027!

idj123

Yes please!

idj123

I’m hoping that I will be able to join the fray this evening, as well. If I do, I will adhere to proposal no 3.

idj123

Starter – Welsh Rarebit
Mains – bangers and mash avec carrots
Dessert-TBD on the day

Thanks

idj123

I’m happy with this suggestion.

idj123

I’ll be there!

idj123

Yes, absolutely interested!

idj123

W60 double decanted at 3pm and then refrigerated for 1.5hrs. My eta 6pm.

idj123

Both proposed dates work for me.

idj123

Please could I have:
Welsh Rarebit
Bangers and mash with carrots
Dessert tbd on the night

Thanks

idj123

And me please!

idj123

Sounds like the bottler had a little left of each and just decided to dump them all into a magnum!

idj123

I’m not the organiser of course but I might be inclined to include 1980 either in addition to or in place of another vintage stated. For these Ports, 1980 is likely to show better than 1985 for example. I also note that for the last such triple vertical the Port consumption averaged 1.5 bottles per ...

idj123

D66 more mature than I would have expected or anticipated. Won’t be taking away the spoils this evening.

idj123

Was going to DD the D at lunchtime tomorrow.

idj123

Yes, why not-put me down for this please (although currently, I may only have a Ni (mag).

idj123

After a successful trial run on Wednesday this week, I will plump for:
Starter – Welsh Rarebit
Mains – large sausage and mash with carrots
Dessert-TBD on the day
Thanks

idj123

Between Christmas and the NewYear, I managed to grab the Bomfim 2013 (my daughter’s year of birth) for£19.97 per bottle and so, very happy with that

idj123

Got an earlier train and so, should be there by 5.30pm.

idj123

Yes please!

idj123

I believe that I have the following:

GC 70, 80 (mag), 83, 94, 97

QH 70, 77, 80 (mag), 94, 97

SW 70, 75, 77, 80, 83, 85, 91, 94, 97

idj123

Yes please. Will review and confirm what I have.

idj123 · Re: Something, incl. Quevedo closures, Wed 25 Feb 2026 Will proffer Fr70.

Will proffer Fr70.

I caught up at a meeting last time and so was unable to attend, which was a huge pity as I’m a big fan of RP. So, put me down please. I have 24, 34, 64, 70, 77, 80, 83, 85, 94, and 97. RP is from the 60s. RPs from the 60s are very rare indeed.

idj123 · Re: Something, incl. Quevedo closures, Wed 25 Feb 2026 Yes, please, sir!

Yes, please, sir!
