1970 Butler Nephew Vintage Port
Posted: Sat Jan 14, 2012 5:11 pm
Decant: 22 hours - Mid orange, 30% opaque. Amazingly fragrant nose, a touch of VA and a slight tone of antiseptic. Sweet entry, but hot on the palate and very restrained in fruit. Sweet and mature palate but some balancing acidity. Very simple and straightforward. Sweet and sticky aftertaste, sweet raisin finish. Very simple. (Vintage guessed to be 60, 63, 67; shipper guessed to be Offley, Butler Nephew, Tuke Holdsworth.) 84 points
