We have never attempted a vertical of Warre Cavadinha.† Surely we should.‡
Cavadinha is a rare large-shipper not-first-name brand. Entry might need to be restricted to those with bottles.
† We have verticalled full-declaration Warre: on 06 Oct 2021; on 24 Sep 2012 versus Fonseca; and, spoilt by dirty decanters, on 02 Oct 2009.
‡ Multiple second-brand/SQVPs are missing from our record, I seeing only Malvedos, Guimaraens, and a planned Terra Feita.

Could I order the following please:

Sirloi steak (medium rare) with fries and peppercorn sauce
I am afraid I have no Cavadinha at all, so my contribution will need to be financial.

The ’95 and ’06 are opened. Cork of ’95 crumbled: I want the CEO of the cork company in prison. They have vandalised too much high-value product.

1982, 1987 and 2005 opened and double decanted last night at approx 1900.
Will leave tops off to breathe from now until I leave for B&F (so should be 6-7 hours).
Levels and corks were all good. QA samples on '82 and '87 good. '05 maybe a bit baked.
