Thanks John!
I was glad to get my hands on these great botles. They are all in pristine shape (formerly owned by a wine enthousiast with winecellar which makes for the excellent storage!), and got them at quite a fair price (just under €55 a bottle, which in my part of the world is excellent).

WOW!! Now that's what I call buying some Port!! And, I'm getting rather thirsty just looking at that bottle at the moment too (not to mention, also a little jealous )
Bought from my local off license, opened and shared last night bottles of Croft 2011 and Borges Muito Velho Over 40 year tawny as my contribution to a line up themed "Exploring Portuguese Wine"
Well, I initiated the purchase of these a little while ago, but paid for them and arranged for shipping this week:
2x Kopke 1952 Colheita
2x Kopke 1961 Colheita
2x Kopke 1964 Colheita
2x Kopke 1974 Colheita
2x Kopke 1984 Colheita
2x Rocha 2003 Vintage Port
all 375s.

I just added an old note, which isn't all that detailed. But we had one of these at the first gala in early 2009 and I just loved the aromas.
I had the Niepoort vintage 1960 last Christmas. A very pleasent experience...
My friend and I had a second bottle, But it was totally vaporised. Not a single drop of juice was in the bottle....
