Out of idle curiosity and completely unsure what I can do with the information, I'm interested to learn which vintage you think you drank most often in 2007. My choice of vintage when I open a bottle is always a balance between older ports - which I love but can't afford all the time - and replacement cost - which tends to push me towards more recent but cheaper vintages.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

A funny feeling told me that might be your answer - but then where are the 12 tasting notes that I'm sure you wrote...

Probably 91 Morgans as I only have one bottle left from a case.Followed by 85 mostly Martinez then 63 evenly spread.
