1960 Delaforce
Posted: 22:07 Fri 02 May 2008
Cork pushed in and then removed intact using the bag-in-the-bottle method. Nice clear branding "Delaforce Vintage Port 1960 Bottled 1962". Decanted through coffee filter.
On Decanting
Light ruby with a touch of brown at the edge. Spicy nose - nice thick texture. Slightly woody and hot but a lovely caramel finish.
+ 3 Hours
Softer on the nose but no fruit coming through. The woodyness has gone and now has citrus flavours and a lighter texture. The heat has reduce considerably but still gives a warm glow.
It will be interesting to see how this develops over 24 hours as I'll be taking it along to Tom's tomorrow night to help celabrate his birthday
