Sadly, not for me although I love the theme.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

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

Of course I’d love to play. But I have not suitable 1994 bottles, and so acknowledge the possibility that I might therefore be deselected.

But I have interesting ’70s, so am clinging on.

Yes please could I join this (MJRM). I have Dow 1994 (which you already have), Warre 1994 (1996) and Warre 1970. First two have very strong provenance. Would have to check third.

Yes, please. A fascinating theme. I have 1970 and 1994 Dow as well as 1994 Graham. None of it was released in 2021 nor did it repose in (or presumably under) Blenheim Palace.

You're first reserve. Suspect I won't be using my "guest" spot, so you'll probably get a place at the table.
