What is your current oldest bottle in inventory?

[Jayson_Cohen]

1959 Huet Clos du Bourg Moelleux

I’ve never owned anything older than 1959 now that I think about it.

Have a current vintage sitting at home gifted to me. I’m very excited about doing a vertical one day since there was another thread about a Huet tasting that seemed legendary.

In addition to regular wine dinners and tastings, some of us in NYC have done a few special Huet events, the first one in 2000. The most recent was all the ‘89s on their 30th in 2019.

Sounds awesome! I’d drive up to do one of those. We try to go to NYC 1-2 times a year … food scene is top tier.

1961 Lynch Bages, have 4 of them left

It may not keep up with the other bottles mentioned above in terms of age, but at least this is worthwhile. 1996 Château d’Yquem

[Joshua_Kates]

1966 Haut Brion blew me away, but don’t have any more; same with '63 Niepoort Porto. I’ve repeatedly '58 Baroli–birth year–none exceptional. I don’t believe I’ve had the chance to taste wines from before the 1950’s.

[B_Buzzini]

64 Les Amoureuses

[Otto_Forsberg]

1969 Colares.

Lol I have the same bottle Although it’s only second oldest.

The oldest I curently have is Nervi Spanna 1961. The oldest used to be 1931 Colares, but we drunk most of my Colares bottles in a vertical tasting I had a few years ago.

1929 Rudy.

A Rudy wine… so it’s a DRC?

lol it’s not a race and that’s a great bottle!

Gotta make a trip out there and see if someone is stashing some '66s in a local restaurant.

Sure that vertical was fun!

You bet! I had one Colares from every decade, starting from the 2010’s and ending on the 1930’s.

It’s ridiculous how long these wines age. Even 1931 was in a remarkably youthful shape compared to its age - I’ve had hundreds of bottles that have been younger in age than this wine, yet have tasted so much older.

My mistake. It is the youngest bottle in my cellar.

[Markus_S]

I suspect the Madeira holders will win this,…

Bingo!
