1963 Ferreira Vintage Port

[Al B.]

Decant: 11½ hours - Brick red, pale centre; 40% opaque. A touch of alcohol and antiseptic on the nose, smelling of a typical old Ferreira. Satin texture with modest fruit that has dried out and allows the tannins to dominate over the sugar water. A horrible aftertaste. A shame this bottle is so poor when others from the same parcel have shown so much better in the past. 83 points
