1963 Delaforce vintage port
Posted: 19:55 Thu 12 Jun 2008
From the same case as the bottle sampled by Julian a while back.
Although a fine golden colour in the glass, with a pleasant nose and a slightly peppery note on the palate, the wine was compromised by a fire that was severe at first decanting, less prominant after a few hours, but then refused to go away.
Indeed there was little evolution between +6 hrs and +3 days.
The '60 was marginally better - score 4-3
