1992 vintage ports

Post by Rummy »

In the past 4 years I've been trying to collect all the 1992 (birthyear) vintage ports. The big houses were easy to collect, however I struggled with finding the CkC, EV and GI. I now have at least one of all the 92s, and multiple bottles of most of them, except for WC, Nv and SW; which I will hunt for a future horizontal.

Was a fun little project that actually got me much more into port, my cellar grew from a few dozen of bottles to around 750 bottles (+-100, I've lost count and my cellar is a mess).

Special thanks to:
Vintageport.se, for their exhaustive list of all the 92's.
Harry H, for providing me with the bottle of GI I've been looking for so desperately.

Impressive lineup! Well done on completing your collection. Unlike the SW91, the 92 is surprisingly difficult to get hold of.

That’s very impressive!

Out of interest, what is GI?
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!

In the picture the fourth bottle is Gilbert’s, which is absent from the Port brand abbreviations thread. Also see the thread Looking for Gilbert's 1992, and also New here, looking to learn.

I made up that abbreviation, since I did not see it in the thread. Have indeed been spamming the forum a bit in search of this particular bottle (sorry), but am glad I did since Harry sorted me out. Opened a bottle of GI92 a few days ago, reminded me a lot of B92 which is a decent, but not impressive, port.

Proposed abbreviation for Gilbert added to the abbreviations thread.
