I have a work colleague visiting (a bit of notice might have been good) and will have to cancel. Apologies.

I can bring a W70 in addition if desired? That does bring us to 14 bottles between 11 on a school night…

We already have fourteen. That would it fifteen. My vote: thank you, but no need.

Noval 70 opened and decanted at 2100. Will put back into the bottle after a couple of hours and then Vac-U-Vin.

QA sample - all good.
