In the final post of the previous page jdaw1 wrote:Derek has a guest and will be thirsty that evening, so will be bringing G83 T83 D85 (all of which are chez moi: suggest decant times). My F85 is at The Bung Hole I could phone at lunch and ask them to decant it. PW is bringing F83 & D83. AHB & THRA have agreed to bring G85 T85. So that’s {G, T, F, D}×{’83, ’85} done.

We have an international Warre crisis. Tom: can you please cope?

PhilW wrote:I'm slightly confused. The clear part:

DRT - bringing G83 T83 D85
PW - bringing F83 D83
JDAW - bringing F85

The confusing part:

AHB - bringing... (G83 originally, now nothing or as per last post perhaps bringing G85 but arriving [and decanting] late?)
THRA - requested to bring G85 T85 W83 W85

Noting that Tom will likely be back home very late for bottle pickup+decant, plus your earlier query regarding decant times; For ideal comparison the bottles should really have similar decant times - I would suggest 6-12hr. As this might be unlikely to be possible for AHB/THRA bottles, I offer to bring G85, W85 and W83 in addition to the F83 and D83 (I cannot provide T85, sorry), which would all be decanted 6-8hrs before tasting and would solve most problem with AHB/THRA timing, if that would help. If wanted please let me know, otherwise I shall just arrive with F83 and D83 as per current plan.

Or perhaps you should let us have your address and we'll post you some port!

My secret mentor has rightly pointed out that I have taken off before leaving the hanger

Not something that is normal for a man of my age

Yes that's quite enough of that. I think recent documentary evidence uncovered in the archives of the Imperial War Museum has shown that the dog was in fact called Spot...

No. You must be thinking of Hong Kong Phooey's striped cat
