Could I order the following please:
Duck liver pate
Sirloi steak (medium rare) with fries and peppercorn sauce

I am afraid I have no Cavadinha at all, so my contribution will need to be financial.

As ever, 18:00 for 18:30, with the usual rule that a quorum shall be the number present ⟹︎ pre-6½pm start quite plausible.

The ’95 and ’06 are opened. Cork of ’95 crumbled: I want the CEO of the cork company in prison. They have vandalised too much high-value product.

1982, 1987 and 2005 opened and double decanted last night at approx 1900.
Will leave tops off to breathe from now until I leave for B&F (so should be 6-7 hours).

Levels and corks were all good. QA samples on '82 and '87 good. '05 maybe a bit baked.
