Bottled in 1977 in a Wedgwood decanter in the shape of the Don. Pale gold in colour; a distinct nose of white port mixing plastic and petrol. Slightly warm on the palate with lots of petrol mixed with apricot and peach. Some acidity shows on the lingering petrol finish. Served blind this was guessed to be Kopke 10 year old white. 85/100.
Top Ports in 2022: Quinta do Noval Nacional 1931. I have never drunk such a wonderful bottle of Port. I cried with joy.

2023: Fonseca 1966. There are not many better Ports.
