@skematica An interesting decision to make muting permanent!

Berwick-upon-Tweed. 1 hour to Edinburgh…

Oh right. Clocks changed last night. Pointlessly.

A slightly confusing tasting: some very nice bottles, equally some rather disappointing ones.

They were giving out a few bottles at the end, but the ones who hadn't already run out entirely were precisely those who didn't have the best wines.

Hmm.

But that Léovile Las Cases masterclass was quite magical.

It's wonderful even at this age. Lots left in it.

2 glasses of Léoville Las Cases 1989. Easily one of the best Bordeaux I've ever had. Grabbed a second glass because the people who didn't show at the masterclass were having their glasses poured out (!!!)

It would certainly be more spontaneous and unpredictable.

@kdfrawg When the white chocolate ice cream with rhubarb is the best dish of the evening and even the oysters are average, it's disappointing.

bad idea to give life to your documents…

Alive and bouncing after a very long night with my cousin. Dinner at the Delaunay was a bit mediocre, which is strange given that we both independently read pretty good things about it.
