When the organiser chooses who is bringing what, placemats will be made. It has been requested that they be in the style of the recent
’55 placemats : I obey.

Hi what is the thinking re decanting times? An early question I know but I need to work out some work logistics.
Also I have a bottle of NN I could bring at my cost. I know it has a poor reputation so may not be welcome! Let me know either way.

Don't underestimate NN75. It has a good reputation and the only time I've tasted it, it wasn't a great wine by any means but I did enjoy it as a fully mature Port which needed to be drunk soon.
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!
