Haven’t had that one in a very long time. Let us know how it is when you open it.

Yeah, they're pretty rare. You brought one up to Seattle not too long ago, and then I opened one for my 60th birthday, but those are the last 2 that I can remember.

It's low end "excellent" for me. Around 90-91 points, which is good enough to be the 2nd best Vintage Port from 1964 for me behind only the Graham's Malvedos.

Forgot about that one. It was 2022 if my records are correct.
