The placemats have been updated, and reshaped per Harry’s requests. Please could somebody check them for errors?

the Ck is flight 4, the other ports are being decanted that morning but it is your call when you open and decant it.

I've had a look - couldn't spot any issues with the placemats...all bottles accounted for and credited correctly, with all 12 attendees in the pack.

Then the Cockburn will be opened Monday evening, decanted Tuesday morning.

When do you want helpers to be on parade? (I have the whole day off work.)

Small problem. That bottle of Cockburn that I’d promised to bring, from which the cork has been removed, smells fabulous. But the cork, ahem, says Taylor.

I implore other attendees not to be too offended by the switch.

Edit: bottled by Harvey’s.

Oh what a disaster! do we still want a Cockburn 55? I happen to have one to hand I can bring - decision needed by 22:00

There are now two of the Taylor 1955s. (Just in case we would otherwise have been thirsty — can’t be too safe.)

But there’s no space for a second Taylor on the placemats!
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

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

I know. And the second A4 could have held another circle.
