I have not had many from 1991, but I agree with Derek, the Graham is good/very good

Re: 1985 horizontal: Wed 25th Nov 2015, B&F

Yes please (I thought I was coming but seem to have forgotten to say so!) - I have the usual major shippers, but as IDJ is down for 3 bottles perhaps I can bring the D85 to even things up?

Re: 1985 horizontal: Wed 25th Nov 2015, B&F

I would prefer to keep it to one bottle per shipper thus allowing us to explore a wider range and get a better feel for the overall vintage, and keep the well known ones in there for some reference points. We have done bottle variation studies before, but this is not the objective of this tasting in...

Re: Wed 17 June 2015, The Sweet-spot Vintages (66,70,77)

Any views on when to decant the D77? We could pop n pour which some suggest as the best approach given it reputation (In which case I will leave it there this week to settle) or we could take a chance and decant as normal? What do people think?

I had been having similar thoughts to Alex and would be up for the Taylor option. I could bring the 77

Re: Tue 05 May 2015, Boot & Flogger, Fonseca

An great evening and a excellent line up thus big thanks to Mike for organising.

The F55 was deservedly wine of the night, but many others were also great underlining why Fonseca is one of my favourite shippers

Re: Wed 17 June 2015, The Sweet-spot Vintages (66,70,77)

I think there are now 7 of us with AHB thus shall we plan on 3 shippers Graham, Fonseca and either Dow or Warre? (but no 63's)

I have available 70/77 in all of these
