A link to this article was recently posted on

I can confirm that my LETNB seems to be getting worse. Sometimes it morphs into EETNB and, in extreme circumstances, LTTNB.

LTTNB?
Top 2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
2026: Quinta das Carvalhas 80YO Tawny

No, still lost.
Think the spectator article is onto something, seems to chime with what I drink.

You're right, stop drinking and start reading, I am perhaps a tad confused by the abbreviations.

Maybe I haven’t been reading carefully, but I missed that bit.

The second part to assist with my comprehension of the first part.
Anyway I haven't stopped drinking and I still don't understand what LTTNB or LATNB mean. I'm going to keep trying, me and this Grahams crusted '98

Let me help:
LTTNB = a typing error by me after an evening of whisky.
LATNB = Late Afternoon Tasting Note Brevity.
