Your call really about the bottles... but, yes bring corks if available.

I’m bringing my bottle, my cork remnants and the carefully cut off capsule top.

S45 Just decanted | 12:45 | bottle top shoulder. Good col our nothing untoward at this stage. Fingers crossed !

Will decant back into bottle - have cork !

I will do the same.

Needed to sort out bottles slightly earlier than planned, so all decanted and back into bottles and vac-u-vined between 1300 and 1400.
All met QA standards and no issues apart from mildly challenging corks.

Sandeman 42 mid-shoulder, no obvious seepage but cork a bit loose under damaged wax
Ferreira 45 (well) into neck, some seepage under the foil capsule
Mackenzie 48 upper-mid shoulder, no seepage under wax
Tuke Holdsworth 47 very top shoulder, no seepage under wax

I have had a very 'exciting' week and will arrive, once my car gets here, with Dow 50 (level mid-shoulder) as yet unopened I am afraid (although I am also bringing my Durand). Please could you arrange for a decanter to be available? I am sorry to be making life difficult but work has been all-enveloping.

I am now going to be late, although, not very I hope. I am so sorry.
