Port: Full cases of the great 1963s from Fonseca & Taylor open a fine selection of Vintage Ports, finishing with the excellent 1985 vintage.
Fonseca--Vintage 1963
Two torn labels. Levels: bottom of neck or better
In original wooden case
From start (June 1965) to finish a consistently beautiful wine. One of the top 63s, and one of the best-ever Fonsecas. Half a dozen notes in
the 1990s, but in the mid-decade losing colour though still lovely, and a fragrant, elegant Oporto-bottling in 1998 surviving Dark
Chocolate and Hazelnut Praline (oh dear! Why do these American gourmets do this?). Most recently, medium-deep, richly coloured; cinnamon and cress fragrance; still sweet, fairly assertive, tall, shapely, lissome. MB
