CMAG unfortunately no longer available so the CK47 has gone (sob sob).
To maintain a spread of vintages, the OBV50 being adopted by SCD could be replaced with a TH47 (from the same stock of bottles).
What's the preference?
Train all booked and I am trying to contain my excitement after so many plans thwarted. Impossible to express how much I am looking forward to this tasting!

Neil, I would appreciate guidance. We are into ages of port about which I have almost no experience. Do you want the ports to be delivered to 67 PM in advance to rest? I suspect they won't need much decant time, but also fear that double-decanting and then travelling might be a bit brutal for them.
I’m not going to be able to get my bottles to the venue in advance, so will be decanting late afternoon on the day.
HTWH’s T45 - which I’m holding for him - will be delivered in advance and I’m going to ask that this be decanted at a similar time.

Does this seem sensible?
Neil - has the date changed or was “28” a typo designed to worry me?
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
I'll print placemats, etc.
Kickoff at 1900, I'll aim to be there around 1800 - possibly earlier.
Dress code is smartish. Jacket required, but no tie.
We're in the Lutyen's Room.
Does everyone have my mobile number in case of difficulties on the day?

Oh boy I am glad you posted this. If you hadn’t, I would have been at the Boot & Flogger in scruffs!
My bottle opened at 09.45 to Audouze gently for a few hours before decanting.
