2005 is probably best described as a minor vintage but a recent TTF gave considerable pleasure. The purpose therefore of this is thread is to assess interest in a ‘2005 at 21’ tasting in the autumn.
There being interest, the Red Room at the B&F has been booked for 3 November.
I think I have TV as well as TTF, and probably a few others - I’ll have a rummage around the cellar next weekend.
1. GEAG - TV, TTF
2. MCoulson - DLR
3. CPR1 - Qv
4. Mike M'n - Ni
5. jdaw1 - SWM, TV, Qv, WC
6. PhilW - ChG, Ni, TTF, Qv
7. JustinK - GM, SWM, Ch, CRR
8. Bertie3000 - ChG, WC, Pc
9. nac - V, ChG, SWM, TTF, TV, WC, Pt (mag)
10. idj123 - Ni (mag)
11. Christopher - Pintas, Ni
12.
13.
14.

the placemats.

I might have Vargellas and/or Madalena. Need to check.
Anyway, yes please.
Edit: checked, and stock is merely 1 × SWM05, 1 × TV05, 1 × Qv05, 2 × WC05. All are at your command.

I like the 2005s a lot. They may not have the same longevity as some others years, and seem to be earlier maturing, but also seem to be lovely. Probably time I opened a case. So, yes please. ChG, Ni, TTF, Q
(all currently unopened cases in storage, so would need notice please)
