Who is printing?
Re: BBR VP Tasting-Wednesday 2 February 2022
I'm aiming to be at 67PM from about 1700 if anyone wants to meet for a pre-match refreshment.
Re: BBR VP Tasting-Wednesday 2 February 2022
Will probably be at the bar upstairs.
Re: BBR VP Tasting-Wednesday 2 February 2022
BBR doors will open from 5.30pm, if anyone wants to get there earlier (and assist with the available pre-pours).
Re: BBR VP Tasting-Wednesday 2 February 2022
BBR 66 decanted at 1.15pm. All looking good.
Re: BBR VP Tasting-Wednesday 2 February 2022
Paperwork printed. I'll drop it in at BBR as early as I can.

1963 decanted at 16.00. Looking and smelling fine.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
