opened cork and advised to decant just 30 minutes before drinking. Strong raisins on opening. Colour quite translucent and light red but with a touch of tawny brown. Delicate, long and surprisingly fresh given age. Some fruit. Very impressed - first bottle I have ever had from this shipper. 65% bottle drunk, then finished remainder 3 days later - held up well.

Very advanced for a 63 but still offering some nice mature vintage port qualities; nuts, cardamom, faded cherry fruit. Mid shoulder fill so some of this may be attributable to the particular bottle rather than the wine in general.
