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: 1966 Fonseca
Deep red in colour, with a very solid rim; 90% opaque. Fabulous nose, with a wonderful lime juice dominating. Delicious milk chocolate entry, sweet raisins and gentle cocoa tannins. Great concentration and depth of flavour. Huge aftertaste, massive and fabulous finish. This is stunning, fabulous port - just an immense presence. 95/100. Decanted 9 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!

F66, Anduze decanting — uncorked 07:00, decanted 10:00. Dark dark red, 70% opaque. Nose of dark plum. Palate had big soft red. Lovely, though lighter than the W66.
