Warre. A deep , mature brick-red colour; 30% opaque. Slightly odd nose, showing some fruit but with a strange and slightly dirty tone not usually found on 1966 Port. A little dirt shows on the fruit on the palate, fruit which is otherwise mature and sweet. A little hot on the late palate and aftertaste. The aftertaste and finish are pleasant enough, lingering bitter aniseed and grapefruit zest. 89/100. 02-Feb-22. Decanted 5½ hours.
