1970 Butler Nephew vintage port
Posted: 09:50 Fri 31 Oct 2008
From an owc bought three years ago. I've not popped one of these since early '06, so time to re-visit.
Bottle showed very slight signs of seepage, level unknown as glass too dark.
Decanted reasonably cleanly, nice colour - typical for the vintage.
First sip - weak nose, bit harsh on palate..
D + 8 hours - nose still weak, OK on palate but lacking integration. I have a hunch that more time will pay dividends
- More anon..
