1960 Berry Brothers (Rebello Valente)
Pale orange rim. Spice on the nose. Soft warm fully resolved port on the palate. Very nice.

Consumed 2/2/22

Shipped by Rebello Valente. A lovely evolved colour, pale; 10% opaque. A beautiful nose of mature, sweet and spiced fruit. A wine which is just divine to smell and sniff. A little dry on entry, a touch woody and very spirity. Bitter dried cranberry finish, with a good — no, stunning — length. A little too old, or perhaps a touch under-decanted. 85/100. 02-Feb-22. Decanted 3 hours.
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, except a good bottle of Fonseca 1927. Wow!
