I am an unlikely, but possible. I will seek permission. It is the one day next week that I might possibly perhaps be able to make.

2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!

I'm in pending whether I can provide a bottle that meets the definition of mature.

Drat and double drat! I hadn't undertaken the necessary checks and balances (schoolboy error) and as am on child duty that night, regrettably I will have to confirm that I'm now out

Blind or sighted? I lightly prefer sighted, but will go with the consensus.

I am for blind since it is so much fun to struggle to find out if it is vintage or not ,-))))))

Bonus request. I’ll bring mine in decanters. If it isn’t too inconvenient to do likewise, please do likewise.

If you need a monkey’s selection for the blind tasting in the absence of an AHB suggestion, then may I suggest Smith Woodhouse 1977 VP.

Since I don't think anyone has said what you drank last night as yet: I would have proposed Warre for the monkey's guess of shipper the to get better coverage of likely LBVs as well as possible VP; and while normally would have guessed '70 for decent mature VP, but with the mini-'70 horizontal in a couple of weeks likely biasing people's choices, I would have gone for '82 as there are a number of lesser-but-mature VPs and several LBVs from that year.
So, what did you guys drink last night?

I protest! I was actually upstairs with EAB at 19.00 grabbing a quick dinner before heading off to our appointment.
I sent JDAW a photograph of the monkey's guess. The monkey is not intelligent, guessing more or less at random. The monkey guessed that everyone would be bringing Quinta do Noval 1950.
The monket scored null points. Did anyone score more than the monkey?
