1955 Taylor – often overlooked, and underrated. Buy if you can find.
1942 Russian “Port” – Fruity and not bad
Date Unknown – Borges Tawny Port – Probably from the 50’s.

Dry Wine:
1947 Nuit St. George – bottle was a little past…
1952 Mouton – incredible, great showing.
1808 Malmsey – off tasting, like shellac and dried fruit
1860 “Pata de Gallina” Dry Sherry – still holding up. Not much experience with sherry this old.

I am always in awe of your port & wine collection. Opening just one of those bottles would have been something to celebrate in my house! Nicely done!

I (er... actually, my wife...) would love to see pictures of your cellar or storage. I imagine it's like something out of a movie

Actually, nothing fancy, just a pile of wooden cases on the cellar floor. I would like to build dedicated wine cellar room, but what I have has worked so far. I keep the cases touching each other and throw a blanket over the whole thing to minimize temp swings. Not an attractive set up, but easy and takes up the absolute minimum of space.
