The Warre 1947 is high shoulder, bottler unknown (though it came from Alex B., and it might be that a different bottle of the batch had a label). I propose to open and decant at 07:30 on the day. Objections?

It’s not a double magnum.

Was this one of the bottles from the parcel bought at Bonham's on 17 March 2009? With the white foil capsule?

If so, I kept two bottles from the purchase and opened one for the Warre vertical at the RAF Club on 2 October 2009. There was no indication on that bottle or cork of who the bottler was, nor on the bottle or capsule of the bottle I still have at home.
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
