Yes, this suits me although will have to proffer a different bottle as I have drunk my last offering!

I have just opened the one bottle I have in London of the '98 ChAA. Quite stinky right now. I will have to retrieve another before this tasting. Or just stick with the four other Churchills I have in the 'fridge.

I actually did save the ruby reserve for this but also still have some of the 20 yo tawny in the fridge. Whether that will survive is yet to be seen, of course.

Yes but as I will be 60 by then I may fall asleep during the Zoom call

I've just finished the 20yo tonight (lovely stuff). My next pack has been lost in the post - I fear for the future.

Will be interesting to see how they've held up.

A quick question for those in the know, should the ruby reserve be decanted in advance? I'm aware it probably isn't a requirement to do much more than open it an hour or two in advance but if it'll help improve it I'll happily do so.

I shall be partaking of Vintage 1991, Agua Alta 1995 & 1998, Gricha 2005 & 2009.

@ rich_n - it will surely do the ruby no harm to give it a fair bit of air. Maybe double decant the day before and shove it in the fridge?

Having drunk my last bottle of the Ch82 for the last-planned date, I will go with the kindly-provided group samples of Vintage 91, Agua Alta 95, Gricha 05 and Gricha 09 (Club Release), and may or may not open a Ch85 as well.
