For The Love Of Port

• 1964 Justino's Madeira Boal - Portugal, Madeira (4/27/2024)
  Deep amber-brown. A saline and nutty nose with hints of caramelized orange and toasted almond. The palate is vibrant and textured, delivering bright acidity, dried citrus peel, and a touch of exotic spice. A remarkably long and lingering finish. (93 pts.)

Let’s assume that you bought 120 bottles at the Christie’s sale in December 2021 and took delivery in January 2022. That means you’ve had the bottles for 3 years and you’ve drunk 5 bottles.

You had better be careful! Start planning now. You will run out of bottles in January 2093!!!

"Unfortunately" equal distribution is the wrong assumption!

If considering a Fibonacci sequence as consumption habit, then this stash will be gone soon...

1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55,... starting with year 2022 this implies the last of the initial 120 bottles will have been drunk by mid 2031. In case you're now bringing forward that 5 bottles are consumed already and this wouldn't fit the Fibonaccio assumption I (as being an actuary) may throw in that the first of the three 2025 bottles has already been consumed in January.
