Sandeman 20-yr old Tawny. Purchased on 34th Street in Manhattan because it was the only bottle of reasonable Port I could find!

Re: What have you opened this week?
During my week in London (not counting about 45 bottles of 1963 VP, a slew of 1970 VP's, and a bunch of others which people opened going back to an 1863 Burmester which was bottled in 1932 and rebottled in 1942)
Martinez Crusted Port bottled in 1973
1966 Fonseca VP
1958 Martinez VP
1970 Warre's VP
and some rare Douro wines I'll post in that Forum.

Niepoort 2003 LBV (bottled 2007);
For later today, a Nicola de Almeida 1967 VP is standing up for decanting and consumption this evening. Seems a fitting choise for a nice evening as the Autumn storm is roaring itself around here.
