What's The Oldest Bottle In Your Cellar?

Just curious what is the oldest bottle you own? My would be a 86 Phelps Backus. Probably should have been drunk by now!

I have a 1995 boujoilais from France and a 1994 Dowes port.

1970 Giuseppe Rinaldi Barolo.

No, those old Phelps age well! That vineyard and the winemaking style in the 80s was rather conservative. Might be just delightful…

1966 Ports

Don’t have a wine cellar . Mine is 2010. If did have a celllar don’t think I’d have anything older anyway.

Fortified: 1830 Quinta de Serrado malmsey
Table wine: 1911 Domaine Jean Morin NSG Les Cailles

Does an 1827 Solera count?

My wife is a 1959, have several '59 Bdx, plus a Moulin Touchais and one Piedmont.
I’m a '60, so have some ports (and 1 BV GdlT left)
Oldest I’ve owned were a couple bottles of '29 Poujeaux, but they’re history

Red wine, the rest unknown.

Oldest known bottle: 1889 Gruaud Larose
Oldest I’ve owned besides the one pictured: 1846 Madeira Bual

I have some Bordeaux from the 80’s. some 90’s CDP and Huet. Rest is pretty young.

1989 Lynch Bages

1994 Ridge Geyserville.

In the past 2 years I’ve consumed from my cellar:
1985 Ridge Geyserville
1991 Inglenook Cabernet
1994 Kopke Porto Colheita
1994 Mount Eden Vineyards Chardonnay Santa Cruz Mountains
1995 Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova


I am currently pretty low on older bottles.

1900 Justinos Madeira

And for table wine, probably the old California Burgundys I acquired from the UC Davis cellar earlier this year. Circa 1930’s

An 1815 Bual Madeira and a smattering of postwar Burgundies and Bordeaux back to 1945.

That’s awesome! Where’d you get that thing?? Any idea at all where it’s from?

1946 CVNE Viña Real Gran Reserva- which is getting opened tonight
1949 Jean Bourdy Chateau-Chalon

1969 G. Conterno Barolo

I have a few from the '70s, with the prize being a mag of 1975 Mayacamas Cab.

1983 Chateau Lascombes

1931 and 1934 Collares

Forgot about this one,

Cantina Abbazia (in San Stefano Belbo) 1954 Barolo
