The problem with these is that they are such precious relics that you don't have the courage to open them. Only 1000 were bottled and numbered .

That was my first thought as well when I noticed how old the port was! On the other hand - of what use is a bottle of the finest stuff when you are not allowed to swallow it?!

Easy; i drink from the other bottles i have of equal or better quality ... while i look at this one
You know, for as good as this harvest may be, the special label is more unique than the contents.

Harvesting cork? I would not have guessed in a hundred years.

Fernando and Michael: If you both decide to share that fine bottle of Port, would you at least save the Bottle - and especially the Label !! - for me?

Rick.
