Most Popular Vintage for Drinking in 2007

Out of idle curiosity and completely unsure what I can do with the information, I'm interested to learn which vintage you think you drank most often in 2007. My choice of vintage when I open a bottle is always a balance between older ports - which I love but can't afford all the time - and replacement cost - which tends to push me towards more recent but cheaper vintages.
In 2007 I drank 8 different colheitas from 1937 and from 10 different bottles of 1985 vintage ports.

Shipper-----Fonseca
Vintage-----1985.
Not intentinally, but quite pleased. Not a bad combination.

A funny feeling told me that might be your answer - but then where are the 12 tasting notes that I'm sure you wrote...

They all say -
"Yum, open another one next month to see how they are evolving over time"

Alex,
I think the 85s are in perfect condition and quiete cheap to get.
My favourite was the Grahams 85 with 3hrs+ dekanting time.
