Yes still up for this

Confirming. Look forward to it. Thanks Tom for the hosting duties

I think I have Cr82. A quick Look at the TN database though, might suggest we’ll struggle to muster sufficient ‘82s for a broad tasting. Were that to be the case, perhaps another theme could be married to this one to give critical mass. Let’s see what appears though!

Tend to agree.

Now re-work this analogy but with the reality that the richest man is actually hiding most of his income and wealth in offshore accounts and Cayman Island based businesses and not paying anywhere near the £59 he owes. Indeed. You are both correct. There are both the wealthy £59 man, AND the Cayman ...

I haven’t organised anything more formal than this thread - so I suggest chat, tasting notes, predictions and general chaos can be posted here. Ah, I was anticipating we might have a Zoom or similar if someone has the ability to do that without time limits. I'd happily join one but don't have the a...

Apologies folks, I now cannot make this one. Darn shame, as I am sure there will be some lovely port on the table!

I am aiming for a 5pm arrival, perhaps earlier, but not by much.

Yes -9 is the worst score possible. Achievable through your method or picking 21 Taylors and only 6 being correct +6 -15. Neil is the current blind king on a truly dismal 4 points! We have significant advantages this time knowing there is at least one Taylor in each vintage so one would hope the ma...

Sandy will come to the rescue.

My bottles have labels intact, so I think you’ll need to re-decant. Are you willing to de-label your bottles? I will give it a go with one. If easy, then yes, if a complete pain in the ass, then no. And it doesn't matter if I don't. Label removal very easy. I will de-label all the "decanter&qu...

idj123 wrote: ↑09:58 Sun 23 Jun 2024 I am assuming that I do not need to double decant to the bottle I am bringing but can use another bottle for that purpose and thus negating the need to foil?

Correct.

Those type-② blank card, should not be blank, rather someone in advance should pre-write the required vintages on them. Otherwise the blinder at step viii will to their annoyance see a pattern of Cliff's handwriting... Agreed. The type-② are now in the extended decanter label set: https://www.jdawi...

I think the slight challenge with stickers is that at the conclusion, we need to get back to the base card/declaration. Using stickers runs the risk that removing the stickers rips off the layer with the written reveal? No there are two post it tags in the pile so the reveal at the end will work .....

I think we only need 5 identical decanters, as that is the greatest number of bottles in any vintage (1970). I can bring 5 identical, clean, empty S20YO bottles. Cliff has volunteered multiple identical decanters — but bring yours as backup. Don’t forget that we will have the extra constraint that ...
