Cross-posting from TPF, which is where this Old & Odd tasting was organized.
1938 Hooper's Vintage Port
Look: Very light for a VP, almost Tawny. (Between 10-yr old and 20-yr old in look.) Bright and clear in the glass. My second favorite color in the glass.
Nose: "Same as '42 only weaker."
Taste: Very smooth mouth feel. Marzipan, fades almost to vanilla. Soft, ripe raspberry.
Finish: Typical green apples and grape stem, but isn't very long.
This is the bottle I adopted from Julian. Coincidentally it is also my Dad's birth year, so I took the bottle home as a souvenier. Alex also provided me with a small sample bottle which we filled so that I can take it to my Dad over Thanksgiving. Thanks!
