50 years ago, the 1966 vintage was born. A few of us gathered at The Boot & Flogger to discuss the vintage.
1966 Calem Foz
Re: 1966 Calem Foz
30% opacity, orange brown and very cloudy. Sugar nose. A bit un-integrated. Hot initially, sweetness but an un-integrated acidity in the finish with some bitterness.

Very cloudy, toffee brown colour. Very peculiar nose, some caramelised oranges but not right. Toffee and caramel on the initial palate, then the orange comes through; fresh but slightly tawny. Toffee on the aftertaste with sugar cane and molasses on the finish. Nice port, but not in the same class as the other ports in the flight. 87
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
