1963 Warre's Vintage Port

Post by Lamont Huxley »

From an informal gathering of east and west coast FTLOP'ers at the Palm in NYC on 3/9/12:

The color was translucent with a touch of orange-pink in the center and a fully transparent rim. On the nose i got just a touch of candied fruit along with caramel, sandalwood and a little spirit. The palate is very light and mature with subtle flavors of cookie dough, holiday spices and delicate fruit. The concensus at the table from those who have had this VP before was that this was showing lots of oxidation, hence the extremely light color and delicate palate, however, nothing was off about it and it was still a very balanced and pleasant drink. 90pts

Sad this didn't show it's best. For the most part this has showed well for me, with one particularly well showing bottle even besting some other legendary bottles in a flight.
