'55 is a great vintage in general. All the big names had a good bottle that year. I've never had a Dow that old; I think 1900 & 1935 may have been the oldest. Speaking of Dow, I just picked up a case of 1970. Excellent port that does not get as much hype as Taylor, Fonseca and Graham, but should.

It's equal to or better than '63 and costs less. If you want something newer, 1994 or 2003 are great.
