Yes. (To keep my other 1968s company until I can get together with some people to drink them.)

1994 Graham's VP. Still a wonderful bottle of VP that is still youthful but also showing it's secondary characteristics.

Eric - are you a '68 baby? If so, you might like to make it over to the UK at some point. One of our group is also a '68 baby so we have a handful of '68 Ports we can use to celebrate his birthday.

2 x 75cl Taylor 1992 - I love this wine and these were significantly below normal price
1 x 75cl Quinta de la Rosa 2015 LBV (a wine which my wife absolutely adores)
15 x Sainsbury Taste the Difference Vintage Port 2000 - a supermarket own brand Vintage Port supplied by Symington Family Estates and being offered for GBP 20 / EUR 22 / USD 24 a bottle. At that price and from that producer an absolute bargain. Can't wait until they rach their 21st anniversary and are ready for drinking under the traditional rule of thumb of 21 years of age.

That I am, so I have a good collection of wines from 1968, Port and otherwise. My favorite wine from that year is 1968 Marqués de Murrieta Rioja Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial. I picked up several of those a few years back, but they have been consumed. I saw another up for auction just last week, but the condition and price didn't match up in my book.

When travel is something to consider, I'd be up for a tasting on your side of the pond.

I've never had any of this in my cellar and the clearance price was ridiculous, so I bought 3. I'll try one in a few weeks.
