Without a doubt the greatest port I've ever had. Fresh, lengthy, complex, integrated.

Phenomenal. Bold and rich with the smoothest mouthfeel. Really a dark brooding drink that needs to be tried.

1963 Quinta do Noval Nacional Port. Final wine of the night for K's birthday dinner at Press. Supposed to be a blockbuster year for port, and it's his birth year as well. Love port, this port was awesome. Smooth, not too sweet, not too strong, balanced. Bottle still had the original dust on it from the cave in Porto.

Kept a library of bottles from various special evenings: this is one of them - this wine launched Caroline on her career, and us on our relationship, when we won a trip to Noval in 1986 from a wine magazine as two wide eyed students!
