Youngest never-tasted vintage?

[Julian D. A. Wiseman]

Excluding vintages from the most recent decade, what is the most recent, the youngest, general declaration of which you have never tasted a Port?

(Some answers to this question have already appeared elsewhere.)

[Julian D. A. Wiseman]

Assuming that 1894 and 1892 are unworthy of the term “general declaration”, my answer might be 1887.

To my knowledge this, 1887, would be mine as well.

[Derek T.]

1887 for me too.

I feel a tasting coming on

If you include the 1992/1991 as a general declaration those have eludede me so far in my brief port life. If not it would the vintage of 1966.

I’ll bring all my 1887s.

You bring all your 1887s.

And we should each bring something to drink.

1972

[John M.]

1966---then 1955.

[Edward J]

If I understand this correctly...All of my 2003, 2000, and 1997. I've not a taste of any of these vintages, and not likely to for a while.

Never tried any 2011's either...

1972

Not generally declared.

I'm pretty sure mine is 1945, though there's some chance it is 1975. I own bottles of each in my Graham vertical, but don't think I've tasted any other 1945s. I also can't recall having had a 1975 specifically, but it seems likely that I have.

I've had lots of 1955s, but no other VPs from that decade, so whatever other years were declared. I have had 1950, '51, '52 and '58 colheitas. Do those count?

Hmm, Taylor lists only 1955 from the 50s:

The way I read the question, colheitas count.

Excluding the last decade means 2006 or earlier I guess. I need to go and look at a spreadsheet...

[Bradley Bogdan]

Assuming you count anything other than '55 from the '50s, that's the decade I'm most recently lacking, so I guess '58 would be the most likely fit?
