Description
"A slightly deeper core compared to the ’63. The nose is very ripe with mulberry and tobacco with a hint of balsam, just lacking a little freshness and delineation. The palate is similar to the ’63, very well-balanced and cohesive, a slightly viscous texture, fresh and surfeit with joie-de-vivre and vivacity. Wild strawberry, lemongrass and fig towards the finish, this is certainly the “dark horse” of the decade and in my humble opinion, superior to the ’63. A little gem."

Condition
excellent - This port comes from a good English country house cellar where it was stored from original purchase (as a Christening gift) until purchase by VWP this year. The bottles are in excellent condition with good levels and original labels (bin soiled).
