Plenty of adoption options, and good to have two offers of '94 already, as I don't have that one.

Vintages: we are looking for 1830, ’34, ’37, ’40, ’42, ’44, ’47, ’51, ’53, ’58, ’61, ’63, ’66, ’68, ’70, ’72, ’73, ’74, ’75, ’78, ’81, ’84, ’85, ’87, ’88, ’90, ’92, ’94, ’96, ’97, 1900, ’02, ’04, ’08, ’10, ’12, ’19, ’20, ’22, ’23, ’24, ’25, ’27, ’29, ’31, ’33, ’35, ’42, ’50, ’54, ’55, ’60, ’62, ’63, ’66, ’67, ’70, ’72, ’75, ’77, ’80, ’82, ’83, ’85, ’87, ’89, ’94, ’95, ’97, ’99, 2000, ’03, ’07, and ’11.

If seventy-four would be too many magnums, maybe we could omit a few of the youngsters? Or, for a few, have measly-portion single bottles?

Yes please.

I would have brought the 1830 but I drank it last night whilst watching the Eurovision pre-event show. Instead I'll offer the 1963. Or (underlined for JDAW's attention) I could offer a 2000 if we want to go that young.
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!

1967
1962 - I have one, but a slightly rough bottle
1945 (missing from your list..)
1942
1933
1931 - I have one, but have it pencilled in for 31@100 in thirteen years time
1929
1925
1923 - I do have a magnum, but being my only '23 is reserved for an event in 105 years time
1922
1920
1919
1912

All vintages prior to 1910

Sorry Tom, I don’t understand. Your posted a list of vintages you have — a list not including 1966. and you now have 1966? Fine: I’ll assume a recent purchase. Please confirm my interpretation.

My interpretation of Tom's post was that he was detailing the ones he was missing (including those he has but are otherwise earmarked or with concerns over condition) . Thus he has the likes of 66, 60, 55 etc

As a matter of interest I have 63, 70, 72. and 77.

Has the venue been booked by someone?
I was under the impression that the ever efficient JDAW had, but it's not in the thread..

AHB will want a seat.

Is there some confusion? have we got 2 venues booked? is this a safari tasting?
