Making decanter labels for my four. Alex: do you need likewise? Charles?

Too late: I’m done with that task.

Opened 21:45. Bottle top covered with a coffee filter, to keep out insects.

Good quality recorking by the Symingtons.

Sound like you need to bury the bodies, not leave them in your cellar.
Obviously there should also be a "Bottle top covered with muslin" bottle for comparison, also.
Sadly no chance for last-minute attendance this evening.

I am assuming so.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

Apologies all that I have had to drop out of today’s tasting on account of family circumstances but hopefully I should be available again for the next one. Enjoy!
