1963 Douro Wine Shippers and Growers Association

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

George Sandeman, one of the people tasting this wine, suggested that this was one of the brands under the Barros portfolio.

Douro Wine Shippers and Growers Association 1963 VP. Good rich mature red, 50% opaque. High toned fruit, a little VA but with mature fruit. Wonderful mature fruit on the palate, redcurrant jelly and a touch of heat. Red liquorice and aniseed of the aftertaste, moving to a sweet red jelly finish. Delicious, mature red fruit. Lovely. 92/100. Drunk 26-Sep-21. Decanted 3 hours.
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
