Most shippers tend to show their 20 year olds at events so my preference would be to look at some of the aged colheitas and perhaps the special editions that have become popular with shippers. I have a few that have been given to me over the past few years so I ca...

They also asked some people associated with Taylors to contribute - I have already asked for these from Mentzendorff . If I can get permission to publish (I don't see that it would be a problem) I will put a link in to them.

F63 and F75 decanted 10am both bottles had level in neck and no seepage - Note f63 is EB unknown shipper. Everything seems ok. Cork on f63 put up a little resistance and was somewhat damaged (my heavy handedness not the fault of the cork). I should be there about 6:15
