Figs, vanilla, cocoa, roses, tobacco and dark tarry intensity. Wonderful balance with an autumnal and spicy finish. This is gorgeous stuff.

Absolutely excellent. Such a treat at 55 years. At first a real medicinal note which blows away with a bit of time and air. Incredibly deep and dense with great pruney fruit. Excellent acid hanging in at this age and the finish is very long. Nice wine for a weekend of Thanksgiving related meals!

1963 vintage. Somewhat hot and lean but still vibrant and exemplary. 12.22.23.

May 5th, 2022Just a stunningly good port. This is bottle 4 that we have had over the past five years. Quarantine is a good excuse to drink some fun stuff, and this is a great reminder of why good port is...good. A bit light in the glass, some stewed fruit, incredible mouthfeel and acid, never would have guessed this is 50 (!) years old.

Apr 26th, 2020Probably a couple years past it’s prime but this is still a nice port. Light ruby red in the glass with some browning at the edges. Still good acid and good sweetness profile. Nice port after a great meal.
