Our Expert's Recommendation

"This wine is now beginning to reach its full maturity and is likely to be ready for drinking. As it ages further, it will begin to develop gently into a more tawny style wine."

Press Comments

“Scented…Classic, tarry, spirity fruit, typical of the year…very fruity, clean pure nose with fruit macerated in alcohol and a punchy finish”.

“…for me this is now one of the best and most elegant of all the ‘63s. I have made a total of sixteen notes since the early 1980s when it emerged, fully fledged and totally delicious”.

"Extremely impressive, with beautifully balanced, harmonious sweet fruit on the palate. Medium ruby-red, ripe cherry and cassis aromas, medium-bodied, with rich, velvety fruit flavors, full, soft tannins and a powerful finish".
James Suckling , Wine Spectator - Web Only (1989)

"The epitome of harmony in a Vintage Port."
