This one is not on your list.M.Charlton wrote: ↑13:56 Mon 08 May 2023 I'm now aware of 12 bottlings (the first post has been edited to list them). If I've missed some, please let me know.
Also, does anyone know if we are to expect releases from any of the other houses anytime soon?

DR has both (50 White and 50 Tawny).
Quinta de Prelada has a 50 Year Old White for sure... I still don't know about a Tawny. I tasted the white at LaDo.
Vieira de Sousa has both.
These are all Ports that I've tasted from "50 Year Old" bottles so I know that they exist. I also know that Quinta do Portal has a 50 Tawny, but as I mentioned before I am (still) not sure it has been commercially released. If it has not already been released, it likely won't be now that Taylor has bought them. I'll see what I can find out during my upcoming trip to Porto.
Rozes has a tawny called "Dom Rozes" which can be seen on winesearcher.com
I'd be pretty surprised if Quinta das Lamelas does not also have both, considering their stocks and their Master Blender, but I have not actually seen either yet. I'm hoping to visit LaDo on this upcoming trip so will get all the scoop that I can while there.

I currently have Kopke 50YO Tawny and Kopke 50YO White, although both are at risk of being drunk.
Everything else I had, has been drunk.

Thank you, Glenn. My research into 50 yo tawnies was sidelined during my brief trip to Porto a couple of weeks ago. It’d be interesting to see if you come across any!

Great - thanks, Phil. There’s certainly quite a bit of choice now!
