The cork broke but when we extracted the lower half later it had no marks. Brown bottle, no label.
On decanting, this was an orangey-red, somewhat turbid but bright and not dirty.
D+0, lovely nose, really fine and luxurious, with oranges and Christmas cake (all the constituent parts save the icing: rich steeped fruits, spices, cakey sweetness, and marzipan).
At D+1 it was all spirit, very harsh, and we began to worry that it was falling apart on us, but at D+2 everything had integrated again; softer than the explosion of taste and aroma when opened, but beautifully round and smooth and with a lovely lingering, spiced orange finish.
It was gradually declining so we drank up respectfully. A very beautiful old port, 64 years from harvest and showing wonderfully. Thank you Justin!
