I don’t have bottles meeting specification (oldest are Warre 2004, 2007, 2008). So please waitlist me, and if it doesn’t fill then I’ll adopt.

Sadly, despite loving the theme, I can't attend so will have to pass.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

There doesn't appear to be any mad rush for this one, so I've put you in with adoption of my Delaforce 1995.

Not a date I can make and don’t think I have much to offer other than Warre from 2004 onwards anyway.

As bottles seem to be a bit rarer than I'd anticipated, have pushed the requirement forward to pre-2010.

I now also have a magnum of Taylor's 1982 LBV, a random extra in an unlikely auction win.

Ordinarily I would be very keen on this. Regrettably the date clashes with ‘New parents evening’ at our youngest child’s new school. Non attendance is not an option. And I have a 1971 magnum of LBV that would have been ideal!

There doesn't appear to be any mad rush for this one, so I've put you in with adoption of my Delaforce 1995.
Memory failure: I do have Warre ʟʙᴠs from 1981, 1982, 1984, 1986. Any or all are at the service of the team.

Edit: ’84 reserved for HTWH. But I still have ’81, ’82, ’86.

I was on a rummage for something else and unearthed a bottle of Porto Cruz 2002 with a driven cork, Late Bottled Vintage on label but no bottling year discernible so I'm in! I was keeping it for a wedding anniversary but needs must... :wink:

You're in.

My Delaforce is available to adopt, but one of JDAW's Warres might make more sense? I'll leave you to communicate & decide.
