Agreed. The Lear is an okay wine, but nothing special. It certainly is not worth $90 a bottle. My tasting notes can be found here: Vinomofo Wine Deals - Page 1197

Welcome aboard hormone120. I posted some tasting notes for this one a couple of weeks ago: Vinomofo Wine Deals - Page 1197 Cheers, DB

Very possibly! They have accepted it as a return. I presume they will then put it back on the market. I very nearly did not return it for that very reason.

Yes, I got this email and it is very tempting. If Langtons hadn't just screwed up a delivery of mine, leaving it sitting in 40 degree temperatures for nearly a week, I'd be all over this. I think I'll have to wait until the weather cools down before I can order from them again.

Here are my tasting notes: Intense berry aromas on the nose. Vibrant blueberry and plum fruit - slightly sweet and ever so slightly on the jammy side. There is good secondary complexity already evident, with allspice, aniseed, cigar box, milk chocolate, cappuccino and a touch of cool menthol on...

I received one of these in a mixed case recently. I'll crack it tonight and report back.

I would dearly love to attend, but unfortunately I have another event on that evening. However I’d love a chance to catch up with everybody. If anyone is interested in meeting for a pre-dinner drink somewhere around Darling Harbour I’m happy come in for a quick catch-up and wish you all...

Yes, I'm still getting emails.

Yes, they will be fine if they have been stored in reasonable conditions. The only real risk is cork deterioration (assuming they are under cork), otherwise they will last for another decade or two. But at 17-18 years of age, these are just starting to hit their prime.

With sufficient notice I should be able to make either of those work, assuming I don't already have something else booked in. Personally, Friday's are logistically a little easier for me, but for others Friday may be trickier. I'm sure there will be plenty of others keen to catch up with you...

Let us know the date Steady and I'll put a hold in my diary. Cheers, DB

That looks right to me. Here are the Vivino label photos: Note, The Tannat photo is not from last night. I had already rated the wine previously, so I didn't bother with a 2nd photo.

Yes, thanks everybody. It was a great night, with some very nice wines. I'm not sure anybody took any group photos, of people or bottles. We were all too engaged in conversation and wine. I'll post images of the individual bottles from my Vivino postings once I have downloaded everything.

In hindsight, the timing is all wrong for this meet up, which is interesting given that it's at the same time as last year. I think it will be a very quiet night. Oh well, I'm sure we'll still enjoy some nice wine and companionship. I'll save a seat in your honour Steady, we have plenty to spare.

:(:(:(:(:(:(:( I hope you're feeling better soon.

I'm happy to go ahead with the swap if others are keen. I'll be brining along swap wines if anyone else is interested in participating.

Hi Folks, I was concerned that with the dwindling numbers that we might be better off postponing the event, but the consensus appears to be that we should keep things a little less formal, but push on none-the-less. So rather than a themed blind tasting, I think we should downgrade the event...

No problem kpc, maybe next time. Cheers DB

We'll be drawing lots for the swap wines, so they don't need to be obscured. I'll be bringing mine in gift bags, just to make them easier to handle.

No problem. Thanks for letting me know. Hopefully we'll see you at the next meet-up. Cheers, DB
