On Monday 24th September 2012, several members of TPF met at TBH for a dual mini-vertical of Warre's and Fonseca ports of the same years.

Re: 1960 Warre
Orange-brown in colour, 20% opaque. Oxidised on the nose, slightly maderised. Soft, nutty and tawny on the palate with nice and attractive balancing acidity. Good concentration on the palate. Fabulous, huge aftertaste with superb concentration. A real surprise of a port after the initial smell. 91/100. Decanted 14 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!

W60, decanted 05:00. Tawny colour, 30% opaque. Nose described as acidic and horrible. Not tasted.
Re: 1960 Warre
tawny-like, actually very nice, but not how it should have been, oxidised. Not rated (faulty).
