And I have a minor problem. My BBR bottled T60 listed in my cellar records turns out to be “believed T60” when I get the bottle out.

It has no label and a dark green foil. According to Vintageport.info the T60 should have a black foil. Noval 1960 was bottled by BBR with a dark green foil…

I have no other T60. What would you like me to do?

Sorry. False alarm. According to my cellar records I should have a Grants of St James bottled T60 close to the BBR Believed T60. Let me go and have a look...

I have a lone Real Compania Velha 60 that's been patiently waiting in my cellar for a tasting event for the past fifteen years.

Unless someone fancies doing an RCV/Royal Oporto vertical - have we ever done one? - could we find space for it?

I am not the organiser, but would much prefer having the Niepoort.

Tom

If you're OK to, please bring the Niepoort, plus the Graham and the RCV (as team adoptions).

Thanks

If at after-party, I can. But I’m not willing to accept possession of the bottle at the BFT itself, unless I’m about to go home.
To confirm. I have Justin's Cockburn 1960.

Assuming the above, I believe we now have 17 bottles. The maximum given space constraints is probably 18. I think someone mentioned another bottle at the BFT?

The placemats have been updated, hopefully correctly.

Ooh, goody, Neil's bringing the Butler Nephew. We had a very toothsome bottle of that at 67 PM about 5 years ago.

Hi Neil I mentioned I had a bottle of Justerini & Brooks 1960. Happy to include or not. I appreciate the table is getting busy!
