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.

Not realising the full name of this Port A. Pintos dos Santos Junior the abbreviation ‟PS” was used, when ‟SJ” would have been consistent with previous usage. Sorry.

PS63 = SJ63. Dark red-brown, 50% opaque. Others thought it corked, but I’m not sensitive to TCA, and didn’t find that. Very mature. Brown sugar, continuing on very long.

Slightly dirty wine, decent colour, but little else to commend it.

very dark, blackish red with watery rim; smells dirty and eludes to a corked smell; definitely flawed bt. VA on the finish; bittereness of the port in taste and finish elude to that the bt was tainted by TCA.

Deep red, bricking rim, 70% opaque. Dirty fruit on the nose, TCA on the palate. Disappointing. NR. Drunk 12-Oct-13. Decanted 10½ hours.
