What's the oldest bottle currently in your cellar?

[Jeff B]

And when do you plan to pop the cork on it?

1964 Blandy Boal Madeira, 1964 Broadbent Bual Madeira, 1964 Faustino I Gran Reserva. Will open when I turn 50. I also have a couple of NV Broadbent Terrantez that are supposed to be over 50 years old.

[Noel Ermitano]

Currently the 1964 Faustino I Gran Reserva, of which I have several. Since I and my partner distribute this locally, I open one whenever I feel like it.

[Salil]

A pair of 1959 Bordeaux - one Calon Segur, the other Beychevelle.

I plan on opening the Calon at an old Bordeaux-themed dinner in a couple of weeks. No idea when I'll break into the Beychevelle, but likely soon.

1961 Fossi Chianti Classico Riserva

I have several of these, a few years ago they were still very nice, have to open one soon.

[Howie Hart]

1975 Lafite - 3 left from a case purchased in 1978 for $29.95/bottle. I plan on opening them in 2015, 2020 and 2025.

[Tom Troiano]

Purchased - 1963 port

Waiting for my 50th birthday to drink!!

Gifts - some misc. 1940s red Burgs and red Bordeaux (nothing special, more of a novelty)

[Peter May]

1971 Château Bellevue Bordeaux Supérieur in half bottle.


Probably long past it .......

[David M. Bueker]

1970 Graham's Port

When? Who knows.

[Carl Eppig]

1995 Pacenti Primo-Ripaccioli P. Luigi, Brunello Di Montalcino. Next year.

[Fredrik L]

1876 Tokaji Eszencia. Does not look too tempting...

[Dale Williams]

1929 Poujeaux (2 bottles), opening one later this month. How that one shows will determine other's fate.
After that a ;58 Vallana Spanna, and a few 1959s (Betsy's birthyear, will hold at least one for her 60th).

[Jim Grow]

1983 Cockburn's Port. Never. I'll probably trade it for a Cal. Cabernet to someone at MoCool sometime. My tastes have moved away from Port.

[Ryan M]

One bottle of the 1981 Rieussec, to be openned when I (and it) turn 50.

[Jon Leifer]

1982 Ch Margaux

[Paul Winalski]

1834 Barbeito Bual Madiera. To be opened on its 200th birthday.

*hint hint* Care to guess at my birthyear, Salil?

1961 Ch. Beychevelle. As to when it gets opened, I can't say -- it's Jean's.

How many times have I suggested you make a trip out to CT, Mark?

[Jenise]

Some 1900 malmseys, two bottles of the Madeira that was served at Prince Charles' investiture as prince of Wales, can't recall the year off hand, and some 54 Terrantezes. On the regular side, a 46 champagne; after that, we're into the 60's with a few bottles of Bordeaux.

[Jeff B]

Wow, I'm envious of all the great bottles everyone has!

1994 Lafite, one bottle
I plan to open it sometime in 2014 at the two-decade mark.

[Ted Richards]

The oldest bottle: two 1948 Barbeito Malvasia Madeiras, on my (and their) 65th birthday.

The oldest wine: a minute fraction of a Harvey's 1844 Solera Madeira. Alas. I won't be likely around for its 200th, so I'll have to open it 'prematurely'
