To celebrate the Quinquagenary of AHB, he arranged a horizontal of 1963s in Wokingham at
The Cantley House Hotel (evenings of Friday 11
th and Saturday 12
th October 2013) and
The Walter Arms (lunch on Saturday 12
th), and two evening Champagne tastings for our better halves. Sadly the venue was not able to accommodate all he would have liked to have invited. Diaries had been blocked since early 2012, and bottles had been gathered for most of a decade before that. A splendid weekend indeed.

A63. brown, 30% opaque. Fully mature. Heat, brown sugar, and more heat. Good size. Past prime, but it was good port.

Good colour. Full bodied and thick. Sweet with heat on the end. A good port for drinking now.

Deep orange, lightly coloured rim. Gentle orange juice on the nose, but unclean in style. Soft entry, dilute and sugary with some tannic tingle but little else. Gentle grapefruit finish of good duration. Light and tertiary. 80/100. 10 hour decant.
