A classic year for Vintage Ports. The winter was average, with cold spells and rain. Spring was much cooler and wetter than normal, but the weather during the flowering was good. The summer was mostly dry, with long warm days. September was perfect for harvesting, with hot days and cool nights.
This gentle porto grand cru of 1963 has a deep dark, orange color. In the nose aromas of nuts, dates, apricots, caramel and some balsamic. Smells a bit like cognac In the mouth it has a good body, tones of molasses and plums followed by a long, spicy aftertaste.
