That sounds like a terrible tasting .... drinking those babies at a mere 21. It sounds akin to hosting a 94 horizontal (plus a couple years).

Unless I am mistaken, this is a theme that is now probably lost to history, with very little chance of repeating it. I think the closest I can recall was
this tasting when we compared a London and Oporto bottling of 1967 Vargellas.
I hate to say this, given the nature of some people here, but what chance we could put together an offline where the theme was different bottlings of the same port?
I guess 1970 would be the last vintage where this was possible?
