Can print placemats if required.

My bottle decanted at 1900 tonight. Will have two hours in decanter before going back into the bottle.
QA sample OK.

My bottle decanted into its carrying container at 2015 19/02/25. QA sample ok.
[Updated to make clear that carrying container is airtight and that it was sealed immediately and the wine refrigerated overnight and wil be until this afternoon.]

Harry mentioned HTWH Seven, then told me to stick to the original placemats. I have, obviously, obediently, indeed submissively, entirely heeded his actual wishes.
Mike told me that the blind-guessing sheet was mysteriously absent. Remedied.

Harry has recently grumbled to me that we over-decant. So I will open and decant at about midday on Wednesday.
If this isn’t controversial then I will be unhappy. I.e., it would be controversial for this not to be controversial. I.e., professional logicians are assured of work.

…and Vac-U-Vined once back in bottle. So, hopefully the equivalent of a 2-hour decant.

Yes it was. Niche interest is exactly right.

Many thanks Harry and Julian for sorting this one out. Plenty of niche interest and very much enjoyable.

Is there a score sheet listing all of the 18 wines and how they placed? I'm curious what was served.
