I am doing the same with the GC and F. Both were stood this afternoon.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

W66 (for GEAG) removed from cellar & stood up this afternoon. Planning to open & decant early tomorrow evening. Will have a couple of hours in the decanter before going back into the bottle and Vac-U-Vining.
The T66SH will be opened tomorrow evening to check condition and then resealed.

F and GC double-decanted at 14.00. Decanter priming samples of both show great promise.

14 VP from 1966 and 1 Colheita. This should be an epic tasting. Enjoy, everyone.
Re: 1966s, Tue 12 Sep 2023
It was sensational - thank you to everyone!
