Re: Latest buy
6 x Warre Cavadinha 2006, directly from SFE, at €16 a piece. These are probably drinking nicely right now, but will probably better in 5 or 10 years. I might wait - or not. Are these available in the UK? Plenty available, but at £35-£40 a bottle. I got a few bottles of the 2005 from Waitrose in lat...

Re: Tastings (Physical & Virtual) - Planner
Or ‘35 at 90 or ‘55 at 70 or ‘65 at 60 or ‘75 at 50 or ‘85 at 40… Or 60 @ 65 maybe? Or 70 @ 55. Oh...I'm supposed to be sorting that one... Given we've only recently done probably the largest ever tasting of 55s, not sure there's a rush for that. And I think CEM is considering do it again anyway.

Have added you to the reserve list.Alex Bridgeman wrote: ↑19:08 Thu 18 Jan 2024 I am unlikely to be able to attend on the new date, if I am able to it’s likely to be a last minute change of plans.
If plans change, I’ll just have to take the risk that a space comes available for me.

Re: Tastings (Physical & Virtual) - Planner
A question raised elsewhere, that probably needs asking here...
Should we be thinking about a 1945 @ 80 tasting next year?
Do we have sufficient bottles?
Would it be prohibitively expensive?
Full event for 14 or smaller event?
If we want to do this then I'm happy to organise.

Re: Port for sale by retailer
Aldi currently listing Fletcher's 2017 LBV for £8.99 a bottle. If they actually have any to sell, this might be a bargain.

Re: Thoughts on LBVs
An aged LBVs tasting was planned in 2022 - viewtopic.php?t=14547 - but scuppered by the RMT. Should this be plan be resurrected?
