A fully mature bottle of vintage Port from the excellent 1963 vintage.
The following reviews sum up this wine.
Jancis Robinson MW from 2014:
There is still a trace of crimson in the pale rose red here! Quite intense and fat on the nose with masses of ripe fruit. Lots of intensity and just coming into its own! What a marvel. Now this is what vintage port should taste like: vigorous and mellow but with lots of potential for further development too. Clean and very ripe. Great freshness. But also intense fruit. Difficult to believe this is 50 years old. Hint of liquorice.
and Neal Martin, also 2014:
The 1963 Sandeman Vintage Porto has a bewitching bouquet with mulberry, cloves, allspice and balsam that gently unfold in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with great tension. There is a fine edginess here, an uncommon sense of brio with dried fig and dried prune; then with further aeration, white pepper and cloves. It gently builds in the mouth and leads you to a very elegant and refined finish that will last another decade at least. Stylish and suave, this is somewhat predictably the best Sandeman of this era.
Both give drinking windows of at least another ten years.
Removed from an Essex Cellar where it had lain unmoved since purchase, bottle has been partly cleaned to assist images and to check condition. Have not been to check on the level but there are no signs of distress and the bottle appears sound.
