Assorted Ports from family home cellar

As some of you already know, I found a large quantity of Port bottles in my family home's cellar. A lot of them I'm keeping, but some of them are just too many for me to keep, so I'm offloading them (a few of you have already kindly taken some off my hands).
What I have available is the following:

- Quinta de Val da Figueira 10 year old (bottling dates: 2003, and not stated);
- Casa do Douro Colheita 1963 (bottling date: 2003);
- Casa do Douro Colheita White 'Lágrima' 1963 (bottling date: 2003);
- Casa do Douro Colheita 1964 (bottling date: 2003);
- Quinta de Val da Figueira Vintage 1997;
- Quinta de Val da Figueira Vintage 2000.


If anyone is interested or wants any more information, do reach out, either here or by private message.


Cheers.

Miguel - the bottling date on the Casa do Douro 1964s that I got from you (both white and tawny) is 2004, not 2003. The front label is rather confusing since it lists 1756, 1932, and 2003 all prominently, but the bottling year is on the back label at the bottom.

Wow, really? Admittedly, when writing this post I just went to the cellar and had a quick look at the front label. The 2003 was so prominent that I just assumed it was the bottling date. I'll have a closer look and edit the post accordingly. Thanks for the heads up.

Yeah it's a really pretty crazily busy label, what with the dot saying "2003" being a different color than the ones saying "1756" and "1932" and also being centered right above the word Porto. It's enough to make you think at first that it's a 2003 Port, not just a 2003 bottling! (Except that the "1964" down lower is sufficiently large and prominent to quickly correct that thought.)

Anyway... just a minor detail. :-)

Hi!

I'm in Lisbon at the moment, for the holidays, but I live in the Douro region. But I'm sure something could be arranged, were it to be the case.
