Excellent question Roy!
And I would have for sure, if I had any.
But since the only place that I could get a colheita 1944 (Kopke) that's:
A - not too far away from where I am (134 km) and
B - has it in stock
has a pricetag on it of € 560
I decided to not go for that option just this time

I'd put the Croft in last place, followed by Portal; the rest is a toss up depending on personal preference...

Uhh, for me probably the Sandeman and Ferreira (though very different in style). Of course, if you add in Niepoort that is also a favorite 10 year of mine.

Ferreira and Ramos Pinto.
I'm partial to Ferreira. Both the wines above are unusual because they are a single vineyard tawny. (The Ferreira is from Quinta do Porto)

2000 Krohn's Colheita which ended up being corked. Hate when that happens.

A bottle of Graham's 1952 colheita (bottled 2012). This really is a very fine port, not something you can sit and drink all night but a fabulous port to sip and savour.
