Re: Warre Private Cellar & Other Late Releases vs “Normal” Bottlings - FEB 2023?

I have just noticed the 23rd would mark the interesting palindromic date mark of 23022023.

EDIT : or maybe I am an idiot and we need to wait nine years for that to work 😂

Re: Warre Private Cellar & Other Late Releases vs “Normal” Bottlings - FEB 2023?

I think I could make either of those Feb 23 dates and still have a ‘normal’ W70 to offer up if required.

Considering the packaging etc, if the juice is proportionally better than the 50YO then it IS a bargain… in relative terms.

Re: 83@40 2023 - Date TBA

Definitely interested, but would depend on date. I think I would also need to adopt as I don’t think I have any ‘83s but will double check.

Re: Taylor's Terra Feita Vertical, Wednesday 2 November 2022, B&F

Is it possible to get the batting order and confirm if I should bring the ‘99, ‘01 or neither and adopt? Preference would be either of the bottles I have.

Re: An Evening of Port with the Symington's, Thursday 1st December 2022

We are a funny bunch. We spend a lot of time saying how Port is underpriced and undervalued as one of the worlds great wines, and this is still said despite any recent increases in pricing. But, when there is a movement in the pricing relating to Port to move it towards the pricing for other quality...

Re: Royal Warrants

Thanks Phil. My research prior to posing the question was poor. So to reinforce that poor level of research, I pose another question. Is there any evidence of the new King liking Port or what his tipple is? Jdaw will obviously be writing to see he if he would join us at the Boot and Flogger in the c...

Royal Warrants

With the sad passing of the Queen, meaning we have a new King, I was wondering if Royal Warrants transfer automatically or if each retailer and brand that holds one will need to apply to see if they will be required by King Charles. Anyone know?

Re: Cellar diary

I am just wondering why you don’t weigh them as soon as you have them physically to give you a base measurement. Starting at 18 years seems like it may miss being able to spot a trend of loss at an earlier point. Or is that being completely silly?

Late 2023 sounds good to me… may have to adopt or contribute but have time to find something appropriate.

Here is a pic of the Old and ‘New’ Ck77. Interestingly there is no ‘not for commercial use’ on the Ck74 label earlier in the thread, but there is on the bottom of the older bottle shown here. Also, I seem to remember that Tom brought an undeclared Ck66 to the ‘66 Horizontal 6 years ago or so. A bott...
