Re: 1966 Taylor
Bit funky this one. Had I opened it on its own with some cheese, I would have seen it off. Something in the taste profile was just not quite right.

Re: 1966 Dolamore
45% opacity, mature red. Lovely chewy full strawberries, great structure and balance. Still feels young with more to come! Super port - my WOTN.

Re: 1966 Fonseca
Very slight TCA hint, which has held back an otherwise lovely port.

Re: 1966 Croft
35% opacity, mature red, amber rim. Soft and chewy, oranges and peppermint. Much more mature, soft and sweet than the other ports on show - more like a Cr63 than what I would expect for a Cr66.

Re: 1966 Sandeman
45% opacity, mature red. Candy and red fruit on the nose. Full mouthfeel, chewy red fruit which is drying a little with some bitterness. Nice port.

Re: 1966 Offley
30% opacity, mature red, orange rim. Rich red fruit on the nose. Soft and smooth, gentle bitterness, toffee, drying cranberries, though a slightly artificial flavour in the finish. Pleasant enough but not a stunner.

Re: 1966 Warre
40% opacity, mature rich red. Lovely sweet strawberry nose. Chewy entry, some bitterness, very nice. No points from me, which feels harsh.

Re: 1966 Gould Campbell
40% oapcity, mature warm red. Faint strawberry nose. Soft entry, red fruit then spreads across the palate, lovely syrupy chewiness mid to late palate. Like the Noval, another fine port.

Re: 1966 Quinta do Noval
40% oapcity, mature warm red. Red fruit and very faint nougat on the nose. Soft smooth entry, nice and chewy, gentle heat late palate and the finish has a gentle bitterness. Better N66 exists, but this is a fine port.

Re: 1966 Rebello Valente
25% opacity, copper red. Dusty red fruit on the nose. Extracted red fruit, cranberries, still retains good structure, though drying out. Mature and enjoyable.

Yes please Martin. I’ll check what I have. 12th to the 16th is half term, so would rule me out if then.

Re: Tue 12 Sep 2023, 1966s
Super evening with great company and great port. Many thanks to Neil for organising us and Julian for placemats, to Charles for his bonus bottle that proved to be far from shabby, to Tony for pulling out a backup bottle of Ferreira, and to Chris for very generously sharing the Dom Pérignon Rosé '02....
