What is the OLDEST Colheita in your collection?

This should be interesting. [1974_eating_popcorn.gif]
Ambition driven by passion, rather than money, is as strong an elixir as is Port. http://www.fortheloveofport.com

Right now it's a 4-way tie at 1937 - Noval, Warre, Porto Rocha, and Moreira.

This is embarrassing. My oldest colheita is a 1991 Niepoort. Also the only colheita in my cellar.

I must have liked it, as this the last bottle from two separate purchases.

I had a look at all of the bottle in my collection of colheita port. It's a Graham 1952, so that would be the oldest colheita in my collection - can you call just one bottle a collection?
