You appear to have a good mix of VP, LBV, Tawny and a good variety of producers. The only suggestion I would have is to try to pi...

Re: 1977 Taylor
Glad to hear this is showing nicely. I have 1 bottle ... the 2nd Vintage Port I ever bought, after a 2000 Graham's. Not quite ready to open it, though. Maybe a couple more years.

Re: 1987 Porto Souza Vintage Port
Very similar to my impressions of these Ports. My bottles were filthy (and still are ... I never clean them), but the Port inside is delicious. I hope you are right about these having another 20 years ahead of them. I would have given them another 10 ... but I will drink what I have long before then...
