Bearing the number FX 670525 this is from the 1963 vintage, bottled in Porto in 1965 and which marked both the 150th anniversary of the shipper Antonio Jose Silva and also the 250th anniversary of the first known records of the Quinta do Noval - 1715. I know `cos it is writ large upon the label, which itself is in relatively good order and repeated on the small shoulder label.

Quinta do Noval 1963
Decanted for 4½ hours before drinking. Mid-red colour with hickory smoke on the nose over a floral lavender and cherry bouquet. Rich mouthfeel with dust and then cranberries and lots of fruit; some fatness and a great acidic structure. A warm aftertaste bringing red licorice. This port took quite a time to develop in the glass to its full potential, but an hour later the nose had opened up and was magnificent. 94/100. Drunk 2/2/08.
'THE' classic vintage since the war, almost all of the houses declared.
The 1963 has been drinking well for quite some years, and is an absolutely superb wine. A big full mouthful, spicy with a remarkable concentration of flavours.
