1963 Warre's Vintage Port
Posted: Tue Mar 13, 2012 9:24 am
From an informal gathering of east and west coast FTLOP'ers at the Palm in NYC on 3/9/12:
The color was translucent with a touch of orange-pink in the center and a fully transparent rim. On the nose i got just a touch of candied fruit along with caramel, sandalwood and a little spirit. The palate is very light and mature with subtle flavors of cookie dough, holiday spices and delicate fruit. The concensus at the table from those who have had this VP before was that this was showing lots of oxidation, hence the extremely light color and delicate palate, however, nothing was off about it and it was still a very balanced and pleasant drink. 90pts
