When should you drink 2007 Port?

Every 2007 in the dataset has its own modelled window above. Across all 13 wines, windows open 2014–2029 and decline is modelled from 2044–2122. The spread comes from house style — structured houses open around 22 years; opulent houses open around 20 years; balanced houses open around 18 years; elegant houses open around 15 years — stretched by the strength of the vintage and pulled earlier for the single-quinta wines. To check a specific bottle against today's date, use the maturity tool. These are modelled windows, not measurements: storage and bottle variation move the goalposts.

Which is the best 2007 Port?

PortDB does not rank wines within a year, but it does record a quality tier for each. The only 2007 it rates legendary is Dow's. Those tiers reflect critic consensus and are a matter of editorial judgement, not a measurement. Which is “best” for you is also a question of house style: a structured house rewards patience, an opulent one gives more, sooner.
