My options are:

1964 Krohn Colheita Branco
1970 Croft
1995 Fonseca Guimaraens

Your choice!

thanks so much! sorry i took so long to answer [no worries if you chose without me :) ] i just took the time to read TNs about these three!

i'm going to say don't drink the Fonseca yet, at least not on my account.

Tasting Notes seemed to feel it's about time to drink the Croft.
the Krohn seems to have gotten higher average ratings than the Croft and i've really enjoyed the pop and pour white Ports i've tried.

i say drink the Krohn. what did you end up going with?

All three!

Those were the bottles that I happened to already have open at the time, so I revisited each one. Your research is correct, though there's no need to hold off on the FG95. It has many years of life left, but is also delicious right now.
