On Thursday 19^th December 2013 a subset of the obvious suspects gathered at The Bell in Wendens Ambo to taste old, peculiar and unknown bottles.

Links:

• Review of the evening as a whole;
• Sticky labels and other paperwork, and parameters by which constructed.
• Planning and arrangements.

Very green rim, amber centre; 20% opaque. Salty, oxidised nose, with crushed pistachios and almonds. Sour and salty palate with very little fruit and an incredibly dry palate. Not attractive. No means of identifying this bottle, it was believed to be a venerable sherry or perhaps a dry madeira. (Labelled as bottle #4 at the tasting.) Not scored.

Nose very oxidised, farmyard, and candle wax. Palate very salty.
