I preferred the 62 Nacional to the 63. But (as you know) 63, for me, wasn't the star that many (most?) people consider it. That's probably saved me a few $ over the years!
Yes...made for some great discussions at the Port Gala weekend
I bought a case of this on release. I tasted a bottle a few years ago (most likely in 2001 or 2002) to check it out. I have looked everywhere for my notes and cannot find them. But I do remember it being on the light side, not too concentrated, early maturing type port. Not very impressed. I will try again soon. I would go ahead and open it.
