Opened by LostVerse. Not decanted. Reddish brown color and slightly cloudy. Notes of burnt carmel, white raisins and hazelnut coffee. Drinking well but didn't have the grip and body to score higher in my opinion. Very cool to drink a 50 year old port though. 88 points.

Opened at Anvil for Shari's birthday. As opposed to the '65 Beaulieu also opened at dinner, this was drinking very well. Notes of toffee and caramel. Surprisingly nice way to finish the evening.

Our guests wanted port with cheese so I pulled this out. A terrific bottle of wine that that has pure, penetrating flavors and an elegant mouth feel. It actually worked with some of the more pungent selections, but will keep the rest for after dinner on a cold night. No rush to drink but I will finish my remaining bottles in the next year or two.

Drinking well, but nothing spectacular. Delaforce isn't one of the port powerhouses, but they make a solid Colheita. Enjoy chilled.
