Do you know if Churchill's is a full declaration or Quinta da Gricha?
(Although I think they sometimes release both)

According to a very recent publication of Richard Mayson the Symington family has declared/ will declare 9! Vintage Ports. They are:
Warre VP '24
Dow VP '24
Graham VP '24
Graham Stone Terraces VP '24
Vesuvio VP '24
Capela de Vesuvio VP '24
Roriz VP '24
Smith Woodhouse VP '24
Cockburn VP '24
He tasted these wines in March 2026 after "internal'" decision to declare and published his notes today, (as he states) "after official declaration".
On the website of Symington Family Estates this is confirmed (message of 13-4-2026) for their 7 "classic" VP's , adding that small quantities of Roriz and Smith Woodhouse will also be declared.
